I wonder what percent of the population is actually trans. Studies always say quite a bit lower than 1% of the population identified as transgender. But if you asked 1960s Americans if they were gay, you'd also end up with an extremely low number. Alfred Kinsey did a more detailed survey and found a very high percentage of people had gay attraction. Li Shiu Tong came to the same conclusion but I don't know what his methods were. So the vast majority of LGB people identify as straight in homophobic societies. The recent survey that shows something like a fifth of Gen Z is gay in some way proves this. So I wonder what percent of trans people identify as cis in transphobic societies? Are there any studies that ask if people would press The Button, or other questions more insightful than just "are you trans?" What if it's actually rather high? Egg discourse would go crazy.
optimistically, it will be significantly higher in the future when acceptance and awareness are way up compared to today. lots of people still grow up not knowing what a trans person is unfortunately but this will change as we make a better world
How many people know they're trans and just repress forever because inward agony of dysphoria is decided to be preferable to outward agony of persecution? Probably not zero
Well compared to several decades ago we're more visible, which has led to an increase of under one percentage point of the population in self-identification as transgender. So it's certainly not zero.
