I find it so interesting that the distribution is roughly equal for each category. Roughly a third identify as male, female, and NB.

I guess there's no reason to think the natural variation would be greater for one category or another. My only guess is that some people might identify as NB for political reasons that don't tie back to biology, but it's not clear, and if my memory is not wrong, among younger generations the number of people identifying as non-binary exceed the number of trans identifying people.

EDIT: among Gen Z, the percent of people identifying as trans is around 1.9 - 2% which is consistent with long-term, cross-cultural estimates of trans demographics of being between 0.5 - 2% of the population, but 7% of Gen Z identified as "non-binary" in 2024 according to the Household Pulse Survey:
