Transgender population estimate (US) 1M/0.3%

From the above, "The available evidence suggests that the size of the gender-nonconforming or gender-variant population may be twice as large as our best estimate for the transgender population size."
That pushes the estimate to 0.6% of which non-binary or andogynous is a subset.
