How Many Transgender People Are There in America?

In australia, we've experienced the first trans clergy. Even though parents who are liberal and believe in the cultural vision of transgendal rights struggle to deal with this as they face things like swimming pools and locker rooms. The pastor's father came out as a transwoman and transition from being a man into a woman later on in life. And even though statistically it might seem like a very, very small number, 700 thousand people is a lot of people for whom this is the defining reality of their life.
