I find this too evasive. I don't think it describes the patterns.

Most people are gender conforming. They are not indifferent to gender expression in themselves or others.

I think the trans argument that gender expression is only "personality" doesn't play out.

There is a pattern of trans people being far more likely to identify as gay relative to their gender identity and far more likely to identify as gnc relative to their gender identity than the average population.

I don't think it's unrelated.

There are also far more of us who you would identify as gay relative to birth sex. I don’t have a link handy but one relatively large scale survey had about 1/3 of us identifying as gay, bi, and straight.

That puts us by your reckoning as 30 percent homosexual and 30 percent by which is wildly above average.

So there is a pattern between trans identities and sexual orientation that does not correlate with the background population?

Also between being intersex, trans, and lgb* sexual orientations.

*there are more but the study(s) was frames in those terms I believe.
