Yes, I would recommend mental therapy for the latter group but for those with birth defects, it's a much more complicated and tragic situation.
Can you give me a breakdown on those who are trans by way of birth defect versus those who think they're trans? Is it an 80/20 thing? 20/80?

The issue is so muddled and the debate so hot that precise numbers for Transgenderism are not currently known, or even possible. If we break out numbers for GID and Transexualism, however, we can see that they're tiny.
Treatment for GID in children and sex reassignment surgeries in adults indicates an approximate 0.1-0.2% of the population is affected. For Transvestitism, which is regrettably included under the Transgenderism label, the numbers can't be reasonably assessed because of the shame and guilt that prevents people, mostly heterosexual men, from adding themselves to statistics by seeking treatment.
Here are a couple of short but well-written articles that might give you an idea of the current state of Transgenderism in the U.S.:
