According to Williams Institute, 0.3% of Americans identify as transgender, 1.8% as bisexual, 1.7% as gay/lesbian. So that means there are 5.6 times the number of gays compared to trans.

In the graph it seems that there were around 500 crimes against transgender people in this time period. 500 × 5.6 = 2800. Even then it's way less crimes than what gay people suffer.
