What percentage of the U.S. population is MTF transexual?

I thought about changing my figure to a much lower number after posting, not sure why I didn't. Your figure seems accurate.

I assume you are joking about 20%. I would say the percentage of MTF transsexuals in the U.S. population is probably 1 - 1.5%

1%? you think 1 in every hundred people are transexual?

it would be more like 0.01%

And how do you spot (and approach) them in public if they are passable? Are certain areas of the country more densely populated by TS girls?

I have heard one figure which says 1 out of two thousand or twenty five hundred. PeggyGee posted some figures here before. But if we do some math using rounded figures: US = 300 million % 2,000 = 150 thousand.
Divide that by 50 states and you would get 3,000 per state. Of course they would go to areas that are more accepting like major cities. Anyway, this gives you a ballpark idea of numbers. I think that changing the ratio from 2,000 to 2,500 would make the figure 120 thousand. And that would equal 2, 400 per state, etc.
