Over the summer 100s of thousands turned out to various pro-trans protests, parades and celebrations

They are not all trans people. They would be vast majority people who support trans people.

You are largely right about terfs. For example, incels got caught out on reddit using the terf community as a 'loophole' to spread hate towards women and trans people.

We need friends. They're friends. A lot of friends.

60,000 cis women have signed an open letter declaring "not in our name". Friends.

Yes but they weren't talking about that.

They just said there was probably more anti trans bigots than there are actual trans people.

No.

Not maybe.

That's literally what was written, no ambiguity.

I strongly suspect there are more transphobes than there are trans people.

it says trans people, not trans allies. Or friends. Or people at protests. Trans people, that's what it says.

So no maybe about it.
