According to the Washington Post a survey in the US for them and KFF, a Kaiser health foundation:

“Less than a third [of trans people surveyed] have used hormone treatments or puberty blockers, and* *about 1 in 6 have undergone gender-affirming surgery or other surgical treatment to change their physical appearance.”

What’s more, most aren’t transmen or transwomen:

”62 percent majority of trans adults identify as “trans, gender non-conforming” or “trans, non-binary,”

Most of the survey was about trans health and well-being with some comparisons to those who are not trans.

The Guardian reported on the front page of the printed paper today that “Majority of trans adults are happier after transitioning” and didn’t mention the stats about medical transitioning or not either there or online. What a surprise!

This is interesting. I saw research by Pew Institute that estimates trans people to be roughly 1.6% of population.
