If you're talking about the US, those figures are out of date 1 2 3

Also a little over 4 in 10 Americans say they personally know a trans person

    Neat, but the question is: Are there more openly LGBTQ+ people because their numbers are simply growing, or is it a function of society becoming more accepting, so fewer feel a reason to hide it most of their lives? (my bet is on the latter)

    Secondly, even with the increase in trans population, you're still looking at a way smaller T community than LGB, which still makes acceptance an uphill battle for trans identities.
