Since the Democrats have shifted away from racial identity politics and jumped with both feet on the LGBT-Q bandwagon, their pandering to people by race has slowed down quite a bit. Are non-whites offended more by being pushed to the side, or offended more by the idea of being told to call men "she," calling Latinos and Latinas* "Latinx" and other such conventions of LGBT-Q pandering?
Nearly all of the outspoken T-Q folk are white, at least at the grass roots level. Sure, there are highly visible celebrities who are both of color and T-Q. But most of the angry trans folk on social media are white. That is a clear example of white privilege. A black man who is already annoyed at being followed by security in a department store, is less likely to bring more heat on himself by getting himself up in a dress and heels.
I do believe that I see more black transgender folks than Latinx, just in the malls and grocery stores. But, it could be that Latinx men are more passable as women. I don't think I've ever seen an Asian transwoman in the United States. But, they could be even more so passing. Maybe I've seen lots of them and never knew it (So glad I'm not single).
But which race is most offended by the left's embrace of LGBT-Q as their flavor of the decade? I would take Asian off that list. Also middle eastern, which some people like to call "Asian" also. The Dems have already lost the White working class, by talking about how bad they smell at Walmart and such. So the embrace of LGBT-Q probably doesn't affect that demographic. The remaining Democratic Whites - the leisure class - seems to feel duty-bound to support T-Q.
That leaves Black folk and Latinos. I don't know which of those groups are more offended. That's why I'm asking the question.
*In fact, I'm incorrect to say "Latinos and Latinas" since in the beautiful language of Spanish, "Latinos" covers both.
