Less than 1/2 of 1% of people say they are transgender. Why does all the media focus so much attention on them and ignore the other 99.5% of people?

As I have said before I couldn't care less what gender someone wants to call themselves. But do we have to have to have this infinitesimally small group of the population be the subject of every single news, entertainment and media story everywhere you look? Is anyone else sick and tired of it? Has anyone else wondered what is going on here? I think they are pushing it ad nauseam just to make people annoyed so they can then call them transphobes. That's their game. Why else?

Because the right wing corporate interests who own 95% of American media want you to focus on hating a small minority so they can cement the lobbying interests they really care about.

The more the American people care about hating transgender people and rehashing WWII talking points, the less they care that their corporations and oligarchs are robbing them blind.

Wanna know why you won't have social security in America by the time most Boomers retire? You've let your government stop taxing the rich and the companies.

Y'all have socialism irl, but it's taxpayers subsidizing companies instead of the other way around.

Factually incorrect and just plain whacko. Otherwise good comment.

[Agagagagaga]

False.

If you think that that Conservatives control 95% of the media then you’re, well, high.

MSNBC
CNN
NY TIMES
The Washington Post
The Atlantic
Time Magazine
National Geographic
ABC
CBS
Mtv
The View
USA Today
Vogue
Slate
Jezebel
Mother Jones
The Rolling Stone magazine

ALL OF THESE ARE LIBERAL or WORSE, Far Left.

What do Conservatives have?

Fox News
The New York Post
The National Review
The Wall Street Journal
...
...
...
uh...
Hmmm...
OH THAT’S RIGHT, we have to go hunt for podcasters on YouTube for news!
🙄
And even then?

They get demonetized. Given “violations “ and “strikes.”

And then you get their YouTube channel taken down.

So spare us with the 95% Conservative owned and controlled crap.

I know, so much media attention doesn’t make a lot of sense. But they sure seem to live rent free in a lot of people’s heads. I just let people live as they want, and don’t rise to the media bait.

I think it is intentional. 99% of people couldn't care less about these people. The media is controlled by the Democrats and they want people to get annoyed with the non-stop talk about transgenders so they can accuse them of being transphobes and make a political points by pointing the finger at anyone who dares say enough it enough already.

It's all part of the Democrat's gameplan. They want everyone to think they are victims so they can promise them they will protect them from the bogeyman who doesn't even exist. They do it in ways like this... just annoying the crap out of people until they get angry and say JUST STFU about it already like any normal person would do... then they pounce on them and call them racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe you name it when they are no such thing they are just sick and tired of having it shoved down their throats everywhere they go. It's evil.

[Opinion Owner]

I see conservative media like Fox squawking louder than anyone so can’t really agree.

[slatyb]

I don't know. It's really strange. No sports on TV, every character in every show is transgendet, that's no coverage of any other news...

Or maybe you are just an easily triggered little snowflake.

[jshm2]

Because 99.5% of people have an opinion the matter, and the media is all about opinions and feeding into fads and emotions.

[Quackthulu2]

Because news stories about middle aged guys who hate their jobs but keep going anyways because they have bills to pay doesn’t get any views.

[DextroShade]

They are all members of the sick, deranged cult that is modern leftism.

I know your type, you will only see what you want to see. Sad.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

To push a BS LGBT agenda particularly at the young youth which they always deny.

[BarryLiverstone]

Seems like the right leaning media spends too much time on the topic. Other media talks about other things

[fonduegirl]

Transphobic comments are many though.

[Cubus]

Rainbow capitalism like BlackRock.
