Trans and tolerance for all generally needs to be addressed as a whole, though what I don’t understand currently is why something that affects around 0.5% of the population taking over such a high percentage of the news cycles.

This doesn’t affect 99.5% of the population of England and Wales but it’s constant news. There are more people who are homeless, or children living in poverty than there are trans people. A call every 30 seconds is made to the police regarding domestic violence which affects 1 in 5 of everyone (male or female) during our lifetime.

I’m not saying ignore it, or not address it, I just that I don’t understand why the other issues are pushed aside for this.

Because there’s a massive agenda to push this issue that’s why. From who or where we don’t know yet, but it’s very worrying.

Big Pharma?

No. HRT is inexpensive, and transgender people are far too small a market. Therapy is FAR more expensive than HRT. If there is a monetary interest, it is to deny trans people hormones and force them into more expensive therapy that does not resolve the issue.
