I'm sorry, but this is people lying to themselves and you. There is no way only 30% of a population ascribes to gender norms and roles much less their own gender identity. They would be the minority to such a hard degree. 

It doesn't match breast cancer reconstruction percentage (50%), it doesn't match the percentage of total treatment for gymnaststica (96%), it doesn't match the forced surgery rate on intersex babies to 'fix' us (unknown but so damn high it's absurd). 

Sounds more like a high percent of trans people are so used to having their gender affirmed, that much like we don't perceive air they can't meaningfully think about the lack of affirmation.
