"And lastly, trans women make up about 0.7% of the population"
That is about three orders of magnitude greater than the number coming from peer-reviewed medical criteria.
"nobody is pretending to be trans."
Based on the vast gap between the criteria cited above and self-reports, I would say that pretense outnumbers reality by a factor of several hundred. What better way to get special attention than to demand everyone listen to endless references to "my gender identity?" The real dysphorics I've known never even mentioned it.
