You're overestimating the uninformed stupidity of average people. They might be fine with trans people, but if they grew up in a conservative environment, they'll act based on what their friends believe.

Most will not accept that they were wrong, but they'll be looking for villains for their suffering, and we need to point the finger at the wealthy. If we don't, every single one will target us. They're scared fools looking for answers, so we must give them.
