New Study Estimates 1.6 Million in the United States Identify as Transgender

A study published Friday estimates that approximately 1.64 million people over age 13 in the United States are “transgender.”

Reuters reported that the study done by researchers at UCLA’s Williams Institute claims that 0.5 percent of all American adults, 1.3 million people, and about 300,000 youth 13 to 17 years old identify as transgender. This means the individual “identifies” with a different gender than the sex they were assigned at birth.

The executive summary from the study says that there are more “transgender women” than “transgender men.” There are over 300,000 people who are “gender nonconforming.”

Over 1.6 million adults (ages 18 and older) and youth (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender in the United States, or 0.6% of those ages 13 and older.

Among U.S. adults, 0.5% (about 1.3 million adults) identify as transgender. Among youth ages 13 to 17 in the U.S., 1.4% (about 300,000 youth) identify as transgender.
