How many TS in the US?

[CaptainPlanet]

I know alot of guys only think of escorts and pornstars when we think of TS, just wondering does anyone know an estimate of the US TS Girl population. Just wondering how many are really out there, especially since the Escorts i feel have been the same rotation of girls for the past couple of years.

The US doesn't have TS...just a U, not a T.

I'm not sure about the actual number, but they seem to be in the more liberal US cities, cities with a higher LGBT population

Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Miami come to mind for me

Living here in Orlando I am surprised there aren't more living here considering it's in the top 10 for LGBT population percentage wise. Most "tgirls" here are just men in the late 40s and 50s who bought a few outfits at Ross, a cheap wig, some make up and called it a day. I know there are some very beautiful and passable girls out there who AREN'T in porn or are "working" but that number I believe is very few sadly at least here in Florida. I cannot speak for other cities.

When I lived in Las Vegas, I was told to go to West Hollywood if I wanted to meet some lovely trans women. Never had an opportunity to go though

They must have been trying to keep them to themselves; there are quite a few girls in Las Vegas.

Definitely lots of girls in Vegas, I met quite a few of them in the 2 years I lived there (2010-2012) Sadly all but one of them were working girls. I could be wrong but LA seems to have the most (highest number) of attractive trans women who aren't working, even if they are in porn. Idk I'm weird about it

Somehow I'd be ok if my girl (g or T) did porn, but I wouldn't be ok with them escorting. But usually, women who do porn, also escort as I have found out.

I grew up a lot in the 2 years I lived in Las Vegas, from being a naive 20 yr old kid from the suburbs of Orlando, to being a lot more mature, out going, and street smart 22 yr old I am now

Sounds like Philadelphia except they're younger and particularly ugly! Ok maybe it's not Philadelphia but they sho' do be UGLY in these parts.

Well it's a good sign that you distinguish between escorts and pornstars on the one hand and the overall TG population on the other, since only a small percentage of TG women (or men) are either escorts or pornstars. However, it's extremely difficult to come to anything resembling an actual demographic statistic, for a great many reasons, not least of which are a) a great many are stealth, not wanting to reveal their birth gender, and b) there are so many types of transgenderism, from MtF transsexual (either pre-, post-, or non-op), to TV/CD and gender queer.

The most common figure I've seen in various studies is about 0.5% of the population who identify as transsexual (thus exclusing CD and gender queer). That would make around 150,000 in the USA. But other studies place that figure much higher. In 2002, Lynn Conway, a professor at the University of Michigan, estimated male-to-female transsexualism in the United States to be in the range of 1 in 500 to 1 in 2,500 (see http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conw...revalence.html).

Its impossible to guess since most trans women, who aren't in the "business", more than likely live stealth/low profile.... I'm not an escort, nor am I a pornstar, but I am on YouTube and don't live stealth(only when dating)

Basically, however many you think are out there.... Double or triple it
