Transgender
One effort to quantify the population gave a "rough estimate" that 0.3 percent of adults in the US are transgender, overlapping to an unknown degree with the estimated 3.5 percent of US adults (1-in-30) who identify as LGBT. More recent studies released in 2016 estimate the proportion of Americans who identify as transgender at 0.5 to 0.6%. This would put the total number of transgender Americans at approximately 1.4 million adults ().
Transgender rights in the United States
As of 2016, over 225 jurisdictions including the District of Columbia had similar legislation. The only existing legislation to face repeal at the ballot box was in Anchorage, Alaska, where voters chose in April 2018 to keep the existing protections for transgender people.
