- That's good (and important) news. SLB, did I miss the memo about you being on HRT?.
Btw, only 3-4 people show up at my local support group (I don't attend).
I'd rather find a person(s) similar to my own situation.... lol, I'm not holding my breath (like 1 in 10,000 ppl are TG).
No one really knows the exact number, but it's closer to 1 in 300 than 1 in 10,000. Most estimates I usually see are from .3% to .6% of the population.
The closest local support group to me is about a 90 minute drive, so I haven't went yet.
I just looked at some estimates of Transgendered Amongst the U.S. population on Wiki. Some States report anywheres from 1.5% to 5% of their individual residence as being so. So, about an average of 3.8%. If I did the numbers right, out of 10,000 that would be around 380 peeps. In the area I live, that would put the local population of all Transgenders about 15,000 to 16,000 at 400,000 population.
I personally think it's closer, here locally at about 1/3 that number. That's just the ones who have officially came out of the closet. There are many more like myself who have not changed driver's licenses , birth certificates etc.
