There is two ways to view it. There is only about 1% of the adult population that is transgender.
They are also more likely to be murdered than any other demographic. 1-100 chance. While it is about 1-35,000 chance for everyone else to suffer assault in one form or another not only murder.
People as a group who feel threatened in general fight back. The more they feel they are being marginalized, in danger, ignored, etc the harder they will fight if allowed and feel at least somewhat protected. Of course others will also start fighting for them also. The more people who stand with them the more secure they feel and the louder they call for rights.
So while a very small segment of our population they were treated very, very badly. Tremendously more likely to be assaulted, harder to find employment, etc. they had to fight harder. So a very small segment of the population was screaming for equality. Squeaky wheel gets the grease sort of thing.
