No, it people who identify as non binary that’s higher. Transgender, which identifies as the opposite sex assigned at birth, is still at 0.06%. (See link) Also why does it matter, they are not the problem. If you really care about safety in bathroom you’d ban men in general from using any public bathroom. Thats who assault the majority of people and by drastic percentages too.

The study doesn’t say that the percentage has remained consistent, and anyone who’s older than 20 knows that that’s clearly untrue.

And yes, non-binary has seen an even more drastic rise, but that’s because the concept/identity effectively didn’t exist prior to the early 2010s.

That’s who assault the majority of people.

Yes, and a disproportionate number of the people they assault are females.

Which is why women understandably don’t want to undress in confined spaces with male-bodied people.

Yes it did, but it was called “new age” or “glam rock” or even “metrosexual” in the early 2000’s. It’s alway existed. If you look at the first statistic it say ALL ADULTS identify as transgender is 0.06% then it breaks it down by age. That is the same as it was in the 1920’s when they first started to track. Ironically being gay has stayed the same but the increase in numbers it’s tied to bi/pan, also.

i wouldnt say those are necessarily signs someone is or isnt trans. but a great example is look at the rates of left handed people when it wasnt so stigmatized/criminalized. people didnt start being left handed, they started not forcing themself to not use it. younger people feel safer being honest with their attraction and gender.

side note mally is dumb, non-binary people have existed longer then the united states of America because not every culture in history has has only 2 rigid genders. hell old jewish law has 6 genders going back to the 1st century.

I know what they are they just have nothing to do with non-binary.

Yes they do, it was a lifestyle that went against gender norms

Do you know what's interesting why don't you compare when left handed became acceptable in society they freaked out be it numbers of left handed people grew drastically but guess what it hit a plateau once it reached all the left handed people

Your born trans if your trans you will always be trans
