#not doing serious research but according to the 2011 census there were like 400k trans people which has got to be an extreme undercount

This is speculation, but it seems likely that the States has the largest population of openly queer people in the world, based on them having the third-largest total population and generally being more open to queer people than India or China. I could very easily be wrong, though, considering that both India and China are, like, four times larger than the states, and also that I'm considerably more tuned in to the States than any other large country.

I do, however, have much greater confidence that there are more people on HRT in the States than anywhere else, because they have widespread informed consent, even if it's probably logistically trickier to get on DIY than it is in India. I'm pretty sure that this also correlates to more realized trans people than anywhere else.

#catgirltxt #realized meaning a trans person who knows they're trans #also in china it's much harder to access hrt through legitimate channels (they want family approval! and multiple doctors! for estrogen!) #and the black market is becoming more and more difficult to access #frankly it seems much easier to be trans in india or the states than in china #hmmmm now i think about it i'm less sure about more people in the states being on hrt than in india #not doing serious research but according to the 2011 census there were like 400k trans people which has got to be an extreme undercount #like the 2021 canada census turned up 100k trans people in a much smaller population which was still an undercount #apparently they're supposed to take the census every ten years but the 2021 one got pushed back due to covid #ooooh i found this ipsos poll and apparently 2% of people in india are trans to some degree which is about 28 million people #according to the same poll only 1% of people in the states are trans to some degree which is about 3 million people #india wins actually #according to the same poll 17% of indians were equally mostly or only attracted to the same sex #higher than anywhere else
