New report shows 1% of U.S. population identifies as transgender

[Michie]

A new report from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law estimates that 1.0% of individuals aged 13 and older in the United States — approximately 2.8 million people — now identify as transgender, with younger generations significantly more likely to identify as such compared to older age groups.

According to the report, 0.8% of U.S. adults, or over 2.1 million people, identify as transgender, while 3.3% of youth aged 13 to 17, roughly 724,000 people, identify as transgender.

The findings, drawn from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) 2021-2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the 2021 and 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), provide the most comprehensive data yet on transgender youth, particularly from the 2023 YRBS.

The BRFSS, which began offering states the option to ask about transgender identity in 2014, saw 41 states include the question in at least one year from 2021 to 2023, up from 19 states in 2014.

I love how medical conditions are now "Ideologies".

There's gender "ideology" and abortion "ideology", homosexual "ideology", it's a thing I've noticed.

Personally, I subscribe to joint replacement "ideology" for my arthritis and CPAP "ideology" for my shattered chest cartilage.

I could be persuaded to become part of blood infection "ideology" but I'd have to see a brochure on the subject.......
