The Estimated Number Of Trans People In The U.S. Has Doubled<\/b><\/p>\n

\"trans\"<\/p>\n

How many trans<\/a> people are there living in the United States? Enough to populate a city, according to a new study from UCLA’s Williams Institute. (And what a city that would be! It probably would have a lot less drama about bathrooms<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

There are 1.4 million adults who identify as trans<\/a>, researchers say, or about .6% of the country’s population. North Dakota and Iowa have the lowers percentage (.3%), with California and Hawaii having the highest (.8%).<\/p>\n

Presumably, the large cities are more hospitable — San Francisco, for example, probably has a higher concentration than Fresno. And while there may not be a ton of trans<\/a> people in Washington state, for example, Seattle is one of the trans<\/a>-friendliest cities in the world. (As evidenced by the outpouring of support after a trans<\/a> person was bashed after a rally; that support probably wouldn’t exist in, say, Texarkana.)<\/p>\n

At any rate, this is a pretty significant surge in the trans<\/a> population. In 2011, the estimate was just 700,000. Why did the number jump? There are a bunch of likely contributing factors: more states are reporting relevant stats; more people are open about being trans<\/a>; and more people are realizing that gender is not as simple as the form someone filled out on your birth certificate. Think back just a few years — even as recently as 2011, many trans<\/a> people might not have even known that they could be trans<\/a>. But with growing visibility, more and more people can now recognize a character like Nomi on Sense8 and say “hey, that’s kinda me.”<\/p>\n
