They are not perfect quarters of the pie, though.

There will almost certainly be more gays and lesbians than transsexuals in a random set of thousands of people.

Or do you want to say that the rest of the three letters are expected to have uniform opinions on said matters?

My point is that the community sort-of isn't representative of the general gay population. It often consists of a specific subtype of activists that share a lot of political opinions and will gatekeep nonconforming individuals out.
Mate if we're misinterpreting things on purpose are you saying that people only have valid opinions if they're the majority?

No I'm not saying that, don't be daft.

Indeed, gay people often hate trans people (who, as another comment says, mostly want to get on with our fucking lives) as much as anyone else. What’s your point here? Hatred is cool and normal and Amazon should be promoting it?
You are punching at a straw man. No one is saying every gay person has the same opinion on this or any other matter. However, as a community (which is the word I used), they do tend to stand together.
