How many trans/non-binary kids we talking about? 100k, 500k, 1mm, more or less?
In terms of surgery numbers, there are no wide-spread statistics. However, this is the stats of
one hospital only.In terms of official prevalence in the wide-scale population, the DSM-5 says: For natal adult males, prevalence ranges from 0.005% to 0.014%, and for natal females,
from 0.002% to 0.003%. Since not all adults seeking hormone treatment and surgical reassignment attend specialty clinics, these rates are likely modest underestimates.
In children, sex ratios of
natal boys to girls range from 2:1 to 4.5:1. In adolescents, the sex ratio is close to parity; in adults, the sex ratio favors natal males, with ratios ranging from 1:1 to 6.1:1. In two countries, the sex ratio appears to favor natal females (Japan: 2.2:1; Poland: 3.4:1) So, according to the statistics, we should be talking about a practically non-existent minority.
There are 26.2 Million children in the US. If we take the high-line estimate, (0.014% of born males, 0.003% of females) we should have about 4,454 kids with gender dysphoria in the whole country.
