I'm down with the percentage being extremely low (0.001%)? but i mean in the comments below someone's saying it's the case for them, so unless you think they're lying there's at least 1 person out there.

So what if there’s a small percentage? Are you saying that trans people should be denied care just because there’s a chance that very small number are transitioning for bad reasons?

Absolutely not, I don't think trans people should be denied care, I have never once said that. Just because a small percentage has social reasons for changing doesn't negate the majority who are legitimately trans.
