Referrals for gender dysphoria and treatment By 2016, the estimated rate was 0.6% of the USA population (i.e., 1.4 million people) identifying as transgender (Williams Institute, 2016, ). The Massachusetts Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey found that 0.5% of the adult population aged 18 to 64 years identified as TGNC (transgender and gender nonconforming) between 20 (Conron, Scott, Stowell, & Landers, 2012). Source: ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2016 DESCRIPTORS FOR PERSONS REPORTING DIVERSE SEX/GENDER IDENTITY(a), 2016 Let’s erect the barriers of scientific evidence, sound reasoning, and medical ethics against the rising tide. These numbers suggest that the tsunami of transgender hysteria has not yet crashed on Australian shores. 3.2% indicated that they were intersex or of indeterminate sex (i.e., 0.17 per 100,000) of the Australian population. A further 26% reported they were trans male, trans female (13%), or transgender (13%). It reported that 1,260 people in Australia identified as “sex and/or gender diverse.” Of this tiny proportion of the Australian population, 35% of sex/gender diverse people indicated they were non-binary (17%) or a gender other than male or female (18%). The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) included a question on gender diversity for the first time in the 2016 Census. Professor Dianna Kenny, The University of Sydney.
