This def seems true in lots of communities yes. But I asked this question after reading some ex-trans people talking about how the community of trans people was a draw for them, so it's not the case *everywhere*.

Right, maybe you could phrase it "how many trans people aren't *actually* trans but just lonely" and then this protects the class of *actual* trans people
