Qcng I was looking for similar stats today.
1. SUMMARY: "Basically we don't know because everyone is using different defintions"
"Prevalence of Transgender Depends on the “Case” Definition: A Systematic Review"
europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi?accid=PMC4823815&blobtype=pdf
2. SUMMARY: "I'm an HSTS - what the heck! Where did all these AGPs come from???"
"The Invisible Transsexual" (HSTS Transsexual)

3. SUMMARY: Here are some sums and this is the answer!
"In recent decades, psychologists have tried to establish an estimate on the prevalence of transvestic fetishism using in-depth interviews with large numbers of participants.
According to them, about2-3 percent of men, and around 1 in 200 women, experience transvestitic fetishism.Stonewall UK now includes “crossdresser” as a full transgender identity. It’s not surprising, given its higher prevalence than transsexuality, that Stonewall would wish to do this — in fact, by including fetishistic transvestites to swell the ranks, Stonewall could achieve the huge jump in trans numbers observed in recent years.
Lynn Conway(who fudge factored the incidence of transsexualism) says that conservative estimates of crossdressing fetishism puts it at a prevalence of 2-5% of men, and notes that about 1 in 20 to 1 in 50 of these men will eventually go on to complete a full transition.
This blog is no stranger to discussingBayesian statistics, in whichprobabilities are not independent of one another but must be regarded in relation to known information. We’re going to look through that lens again, today.
If three percent of men are sexually aroused by crossdressing, and only 1 in 2500 meet the qualifications for classic transsexuality, then only 1.3 percent of the overall MTF “transgender” population is actually transsexual, and 98.7 percent are fetishists.
People noticing that even many FTMs in today’s rapidly exploding FTM population seem motivated by fetishizing gay men in visual novels, anime, or other media are right to notice:if .4 percent of women are sexually aroused by crossdressing, and only about 1 in 10,000 women is transsexual (prevalence figures from last post), only 2.5% of self-identified FTMs are genuinely transsexual.
These figures, of course, assume thatallfetishistic crossdressers / transvestites are holding themselves out as transgender. What if 80 percent of transvestitic fetishists were quite content to occasionally crossdress at home, with no trans identification needed, andonly 20 percent considered their activities to fall under the trans umbrella?
Even then, only 6.5 percent of MTFs, 10 percent of FTMs, would be transsexual, with the rest being fetishists.
We can take it a step further and use Conway’s lower bounded estimate: that 1 in 50 fetishistic crossdressers (2 percent) will eventually take the leap and transition to a full-time cross-sex presentation. Two percent of the 3 percent of males who engage in crossdressing fetishism yields a prevalence of .06%, or about 1 in 1667. But remember, the incidence of transsexuality is only 1 in 2500.
Even if only two percent of male crossdressing fetishists decide to transition, these fetishists will constituteover 60 percentof the overall transgender population, while transsexuals become a minority in their own movement."
