AIDS funding vs transgender funding?

***
u know how there’s huge foundations with lots of funding for AIDS research, AIDS prevention, AIDS this AIDS that.. why isn’t there any for transgenders surgeries? why isn’t there any companies sponsoring a big fund to help all the transgenders in the world? if AIDS is a matter of life and death, so is surgery for many transexuals.

Because people see AIDS as “not a choice”, and being trans* as “a choice”.
A straight white cis man who doesn’t wear condoms or ask about his partners’ sexual histories and gets AIDS? That’s an unfortunate act of god/nature/happenstance etc.
A trans* person… exists? that’s them making bad life decisions. I mean, come on, just “choose” to be cis, amirite?
