you misunderstand what the "classification" stage is about. this stage is a matter of restricting civil rights by not classifying victims as citizens, or giving them some form of 2nd class status. you don't need anywhere near a majority of people to view trans people hostilely to begin this process - you simply need to enact laws that would limit trans people's civil rights and liberties, which has been ongoing for years
Nah dude, in Kansas trans people cannot vote unless they are stripped entirely of their identity the bill “prohibits transgender people from updating their driver’s licenses or state ID cards to reflect their gender, and also invalidates transgender people’s existing driver’s licenses, state IDs, and birth certificates if those documents were issued in Kansas and reflect a gender different from a person’s sex at birth.” Per the ACLU
