I will point out the majority of the people in that have non-typical gender identities. So for people who claim that TG people shouldn't be included in the LGB movement, or just feel that TG people shouldn't exist to begin with (A more common sentiment in the LGB community than you might think. :( ), pay attention to that.

For people that find this video surprising, remember that most of the people in it are in a group that has endured this marginalization and violence for years and years.
