Not women, black women, not transwomen, black transwomen and not non-binary genderspecials, black non-binary genderspecials.

So what’s that, about 4-5% of the US population?

I’d like to see the reasoning behind that bold claim, what services, products, sacrifices are they making that are so important to the democratic life of the US? (Other than voting en bloc for the Democrats, of course).

I mean I’m fairly sure the guys who patrol the power transmission lines and repair faults contribute more to the life of the US than any of those groups and get less appreciation. If those guys walked off the job I reckon you’ve got about 6 months before the first act of cannibalism. Would anyone even notice if all the transwomen, black and white, disappeared for a year?

No chance it is as high as 4-5% of the population. I would guess it is less than 1%. Possibly significantly less.

“Black women” were included, which is why I said 4-5%. The other categories would be tiny fractions of a percent.

Oh, my mistake. You are probably about right.

I would guess that of that 4-5% black women accounted for 99.99998%.

They're the groups who will whine the most on social media if you don't clap and tell them how special they are at random intervals, and if they whine the media will pick it up, the rest of the Democrats will think you're evil, and if they think you're evil you won't have a prayer at getting out of the primaries next time you're elected.

No, trans was like 0.1% last I saw, so this would probably 0.01%. Totally the back thread of a broken sock.
