Maybe 0.7% of the population.

Well if we get rid of all these gender role restrictions and anime fetishes it's probably more like 0.001% of the population. That's me, but I don't think I know a single other one. I know a few who think they are, but it's because it's their "identity" or because they watched too many traps in anime. That's clearly not the same thing. Another group only does it to join the community, which has become similar to things like furries. Most of them do not take hormones (or if they do, it's only so they can get tits and then they stop) and have completely normal behavior and sexuality for their natal sex. And they are usually literal Stalinists who have blind loyalty to the SJW movement and screech at anyone who misgenders them. Cis people get misgendered all the time, why don't they have the same reaction? Then there's all these weird pronouns as if people don't know which ones go with which gender, and completely made-up xenogenders that make us look like a joke. All they ever talk about is how they're trans, and horrifically, often they brag about how blessed they are to be so! Anyone who likes it obviously does not have this condition, or they would know how miserable and hopeless it is.

and certainly not to see a photo of one on reddit.

Why is it that they make up something like 95% of reddit mods? Surely they're not being influenced by their extreme SJW groupthink that says all cis white men are bad...but are they?

Batshit crazy grand conspiracy theories are even more difficult to believe.

It's not "batshit crazy", it's a fact. Don't tell me you haven't seen how the radical left has hijacked trans people and weaponized them, deceiving most of them into following their agenda. They're trying to recruit people through identity politics, plain and simple. Otherwise why would we even be relevant to politics?

Studies show that Christians are more hateful to any out-group than atheists. Maybe it's fear of the devil in things they aren't familiar with.

Or maybe it's because this radical agenda to destroy Christianity and infiltrate their opposition to it into everything else has made Christians frightened and angry. Fundamentalism is at an all-time high, because everything else is being painted as an enemy of God. And the more the radical anti-Christian left irritates them, the more radical they become to push back. If the same people who want to ban Christianity scream support for LGBT at the top of their lungs, what do you expect Christians to think? Of course they're now going to see LGBT as a threat, because their enemy supports it. If it weren't for this, I bet the majority of churches wouldn't have a problem with it anymore. But now they've flocked backwards and fled to 1950s gender roles because their persecutors are also persecuting that. Have you heard of the Streisand effect? The radical left is really asking for it. It's almost as if they want Christians to turn into the caricatures they've made them out to be so they can say, "See, look we need to get rid of them!". And unfortunately the bait is being swallowed.

This, too, is very difficult to believe.

I have seen countless people say "I used to support them, but the left changed my mind". Even irl people everywhere have become increasingly weary and hateful of anything the radical left associates with themselves, because everyone has had absolutely enough of it and they're ready to do anything it takes to fight it at this point. Three years ago no one was racist or sexist and few hated LGBT, some simply did not agree with it personally because of religious reasons, which is completely valid. Now they're somewhat afraid of black people and hard into 1950s gender roles and think LGBT people should receive the death penalty. And it's because the people claiming it for their movement are burning down entire cities and throwing tantrums on live TV about how everyone is a "bigot" and needs to be sent to the gulag for "hate speech", and saying religion should be banned because they're literal communists. Guilt by association.
