I absolutely think a lot (most? nearly all?) trans people are trans because of default brain wiring or something, but I wonder what percentage are MtF cause they felt like they could never be a successful man, and because there's a clear community/path to acceptance for trans ppl

It doesn't matter what percentage they are at all, merely bringing this up as if out of some "casual curiosity" is absolutely the same as questioning, out of the same kind of "casual musing", what percentage of sexual assault claims by women are completely made up for attention

That is to say, it is a completely abysmal thing to do. You just don't get to do it. You just don't. Your intentions are also irrelevant, we are no stranger to these kind of "casual musings" which objectify us and worse, have horrible consequences for us.

I absolutely will speculate on what percentage of sexual assault claims are false (probably very low), or what percentage of trans people aren't really trans (also probably very low). I don't see evidence to suggest me doing this will have horrible consequences.

Yeah, I can see how you have no concern about the people you are talking about and have no problem ignoring how such speculations feed into the distrust over sexual assault claims and makes survivors feel undeserved guilt.
