What are figures for boys transitioning to girls in schools?

Does anyone have or know where I could find figures on how the number of teen boys wanting to transition to girls compared to teen girls wanting to transition to boys? And also how that compares to how many do it in adulthood?

From the people I know of it seems more common to see girls wanting to trans in teen years but then more men when adult.

These are the figures for referrals to the Tavistock. Obviously there are a lot more children who don't get referred, but the numbers for teenage girls are much higher than teenage boys.

Sorry that I cannot recall the reference but there is data on age ranges when boys vs girls typically show signs of gender dysphoria. For boys it is typically MUCH younger than girls so:

a) there are fewer boys than girls overall

b) most of those boys will have already shown signs of gender dysphoria well before their teens.

c) only a small proportion of the children first showing signs of wanting to transition in their teens will be boys

d) those "teen trans" boys are more likely than the "pre-pubescent trans" boys to have progressed to trans from gaining sexual arousal cross-dressing (there is a word for this but posts on Mumsnet tend to get reported if it is used). There might be some clues provided by this young, male YouTuber:

That video is good. I hadn't realised there were so many men who recognise AGP as a condition and try to manage it.

@NotTerfNorCis I know a few men who cross dress for whatever reasons and explore it without being an abusive entitled twat.

I was very involved with a few of their cross dressing and they havent once asked me to do anything since I left my ex and told them what hed been doing to me (mtf trans lots of abuse and gaslighting) and have checked in on me regularly. One asked me if I'd like him to not mention it and hide his stories from me incase I found it triggering. None of them are impressed by my ex at all.

None of them would even know what a terf is. They dont want treating special they want leaving alone. They dont want to be treated like women. They dont want our rights and provide for themselves. I dont think they identify as LGBT at all.

Whereas people like my ex constantly bang on about the hardships of being LGBT.

Yet hes homophobic himself and gave me loads of abuse for being bi.
