Health and Care Utilization of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Youth: A Population-Based Study Pediatrics Journal https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/141/3/e20171683.full.pdf https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/14... 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.

  youth? yea you dont get to decide until youre an adult. this is just kids being forced into it by parents who want to follow some social justice trend 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-youths-gender-surgery-wish-hadnt-says-head-advocacy-network.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7541679/Hundreds-yo...

  Trans and Gender Non-Confirming != Trans 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.

    The TGNC group identified as transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, or unsure. Cis people with unusual gender expression didn't count.

Plus how many of them care about pronouns other than he/she?

  yea exactly people use he or she because of your name and looks 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
