Considering how very small the amount of transgender or gender confused people there are, the amount of people choosing baby names based on such a minimal percentage is not relational in any way at all. It makes no sense to do so. Unless you want to show off to friends, much in the way many middle class peeps rescue a dog from Greece or abroad instead if locally so they have a story to tell their friends about how good they are. Only a few people do this for genuine reasons.

Not as many. An unsurprising amount.

Is there a problem with this?
You are doing it for a reason that may not exist. How many people do you communicate with by email who are trans? Its not necessarily and pandering to the smallest group.

We might as well virtue signal that we support scat lovers in our signature, so they don't think they are reviled by everyone.
