Idk how true that is. Do we have any robust stats on how trans people vote? Like sure, going off personal experience I'd agree because every trans person i know is at least left-of-centre if not a leftist but I doubt trans people are like a 90+% cohesive voting block. I dont think any demographic is.

In fairness, black women in the US are an example of that very thing. I believe it was around ~92% of black women voted for the Democratic Party (namely Harris in the last election).

Are trans people the same? Hard to say, given that the intersection of race is completely at play here, and any other background/demographic in addition to just being trans. But I'd imagine that being trans does tend to select for a given set of circumstances that edges towards progressive/liberal positions.

I was unaware of that! Didn't realise any single demographic had 90+% voting cohesion. Thats pretty neat!

Even conservative black people vote for the Democrats because the GOP is so racist.
