Polls are only evidence of the poll's results. It cannot read anyone's minds, nor are they guaranteed to reveal true intentions—especially when the individual being polled is being asked questions by a human.
The gay and lesbian movement has been fighting for over 50 years and made slow but steady progress as the virtuous circle of increasing community acceptance which means more gay/lesbian people revealed to their own family, which increases community acceptance, which means more gay/lesbian people revealed to their own family, which increases community acceptance.
Other groups in the rainbow have not been quite so patient. Look at what happened to J. K. Rowling recently as an example. Regardless what you think of what she said, the transgender community as a whole isn't improved by making enemies of as many people as possible. We need to show people in the rainbow our love and compassion, not find as many people as possible for them to fear or hate.
It's like you're not even bothering to read what I wrote. You picked some prefabricated framing through which you've interpreted my comments and then proceeded to criticise things I didn't say.
I sincerely weep for the transgender community that they have people like you purporting to defend them.
So now you claim to know my mind. You must be very impressed with yourself.
As to your second paragraph, I didn't say that. I would never say that activism is counter-productive. And I never said that activism wasn't working. Sigh, you're doing it again: you're not bothering to read what I wrote. You picked some prefabricated framing through which you've interpreted my comments and then proceeded to criticise things I didn't say.
Conversing with people that reinterpret everything you say is unproductive and gets boring quickly. I encourage you to learn from your remarkable failures in conversation here, but you'll have to do so on your own as I'm not going to reply further. (Though I might check in one more time to see how much effort you put into baiting for a response now I've said I'm not going to. The more baited it is, the more I'm going to silently laugh at you.)
