Transgender individuals made up 0.53% (95% confidence interval = 0.46, 0.61) of the population
Pediatrics Journal

Participants included 2168 (2.7%) students who identified as TGNC and 78 761 (97.3%) students who identified as cisgender.
There's a reason I give such a wide range. Maybe I should widen it to 0.5-3%, but I believe that in the past 5 years we've seen an increase in the number of people who feel comfortable with a trans or gender nonconforming identity.
and guess what there are 100s of these kids being treated for abuse and psychological damage now https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7541679/Hundreds-yo...
Using that article as a source for trans population is like saying 40% of the US population are people of colour, therefore 40% of the US population is black.
if trans people change their name then people will just use the pronoun that goes with the name automatically so its specifically people who have a name that is not normal for that pronoun or visually look different that even have a problem
so its super rare for this to be a major issue to spend all this time even discussing it
