Celebrities including Bill Maher, and Politicians like Marjorie Taylor Green are claiming that there appears to be more transgender people than ever before, and they find that distressing.

Maher said recently on his HBO series Real Time With Bill Maher that;

“Broken down over time, the LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation. According to a recent Gallup Poll, less than 1% of Americans born before 1946- that’s Joe Biden’s generation- identified that way. 2.6% of Boomers do. 4.2% of Gen X. 10.5% of Millennials, and now 20.8% of GenZ.” Maher complained before concluding, “Which means that if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054. And it’s okay to ask questions about something that’s very new and involves children. The answer can’t always be that anyone from a marginalized community is always right… Trump card, mic drop… end of discussion.” — Bill Maher
