Thing is, that transgender people are represented way.. way more than their tiny numbers would assume. The core isn't Transgenderism, but the dissociative nature of Autism, like with intense body image. Most trans people have autism - so much so that you could basically just call it autismgender.
Pedophilia is very common amongst infantile autists (institutionalized ones with the mind of a 6 year old but sexuality of one much older) but I'm not playing a blame-game - just an 'information game'.
Same can in effect be assumed by the high functioning, but without current data its best to assume it's less prevalent than with the first group. Pedophiles (even non-sadistic ones) have a very skewed perception of kids' mindset and "signals" - struggles completely in line with autism in general when sexuality isn't the subject.
Other ways of becoming trans is through childhood molestation - the extraordinary dismissal of your body as a trauma response. Sadly most... most pedophiles have been abused themselves and bc of that, they don't understand the consequences. Transgenderism should therefor go back to be seen as a symptom like pre 2016.
Speaking as one with Autism and more btw...
