A new study shows that 1.16 million Americans now identify as transgender.
Almost half are young adults or teenagers – 43 per cent. The report used government health surveys from between 2017 and 2020 to estimate that 1.4 per cent of teens aged between 13 and 17 and 1.3 per cent of those aged 18 to 24 were trans. That’s compared to 0.5 per cent of all adults in the US.
