Not many. So, it makes you wonder why there has been such a concerted effort from the left to create more by indoctrinating children and trying to allow them to make life and body altering decisions at such a young age.

When this first started hitting mainstream in 2015ish, it was something ridiculously small, like .04% of all Americans. However, that's enough to fill up the city of Boston, so it is a sizeable portion. That said, the increase in teenage trangenderism has skyrocketed. I know it was at .07% in 2017, and it was at 1.8% in 2021. I believe it's over 2% now. As a whole, I think 1% of adults in the US identify as Trans. The non-binary number is over 3%, but I think a lot of that is faddish and not as serious.

You ask a good question, though. They clearly aren't catering to a base, right? It's a statistically insignificant portion of the population. So, either they really believe in it, or they are intentionally creating it. I think both are true, depending on who you're asking.
