    According to the article, the 2.34% figure includes all non-binary people.

    I thought it seemed high for trans, but now it seems low for all non-gender-conforming.

      Non-binary is not GNC, non-binary is trans. Cis and Trans people can both be GNC, so they would not be reflected in this stat.

      In most studies trans people are roughly evenly split between femme, masc and enby.

        This is entirely new to me. What do you mean non-binary is trans? I know plenty of enbies who are not trans.

          Trans means you identify as a gender that is not the one you were assigned at birth. Nobody was assigned enby at birth.

              I’m not aware of any country where intersex people are assigned intersex at birth. Doctors pick male or female for intersex babies based on what they perceive their external genitalia to look like, even going so far as to forcibly mutilate any configuration that isn’t close enough to traditionally male or female.

      Doesn’t trans just mean not identifying as the gender you were assigned at birth?

        Depends whether you define trans as being descriptive or proscriptive.

    That’s amazing! And both numbers are more than double what I thought they’d be.
