How many tranny in this world?

[Kianu]

How many people do you think are tranny or fall into that category?

I'm not talking about gays.

Well I hope that you should differentiate what a transgendered woman is from a gay man. It's way different. If you think that im gay and you sure do think that i am attractive then you're a fag, well on your context. I know ima woman, no matter what i have between my legs.

Haha. I love how worldwide the internet is... I don't know what I would do without threads like this.

Approximately 1/2500 births results in a transsexual. ( I arrived at this number from looking at sources which gave an incidence of 1/11900 and as high as 1/300, then I averaged them). So 6 Billion/2500 gives 2.4 million transsexuals in the entire world.

In the USA. 128,000.

can we have a tranny country?

can we have a tranny country?

the boarder patrol for that country would have a hell of a time keeping the tranny chasers from entering

[youcancallmeclaire]

Yes, you can definitely have that.

Brenda, sounds like you've read many of the same sources I have, as I've seen ranges from 1:30,000 to 1:300. It's such a hard number to pin down, as so little hard (pardon the pun) data has been collected, and it may vary from culture to culture (that is, I suspect that the tendency to transsexuality is relatively constant in human biology, but that cultural expressions will alter the number actually seen in a given culture; the 1:300 ratio I've seen applied to Thailand, which would yield about 1/4 of a million kathoey in that country if true).

I'd suggest that as cultural values change, the numbers will rise, or in other words, we probably have limited capability to guess at what a true steady state rate it.

In Europe after WW2, the attitude was that there was only male or female, and things all came out according to this mould. So if you felt otherwise, you kept your views quiet. There is now (I believe) effective anti-discrimination legislation throughout most or all of Europe. There is still a way to go before there is general acceptance.

And the US seems to be lagging behind at the moment.

I've seen different rates for males and females, typically around 1/400 for m2f and about 1/1500 for f2m, but until we hit steady state, these have got to be guestimations.

PS Why is this new country to be called ?stan.

[BrendaQG]

Culture plays a role. I however think that what matters more is the definition of a transsexual that is used.

According to some TS activist types transsexuals only exist because of modern SRS. In their opinion people like say... Katoey, Hijra, or non-op's which exist more in other cultures... are not counted as being TS (no matter how feminine they may be at heart). While according to others basically anyone who lives as female all the time is counted.

@ Traumadoc.

People talk about passability as if it were an absolute. A trained eye can spot any TS.

Is there a shortage? LOL
