12 Scientific studies of transsexuality.
In many places, they are not legally protected from discrimination. Many transgender people face discrimination in the workplace, in accessing public accommodations, and healthcare. Transgender identity is generally found in less than 1% of the worldwide population, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%. Some countries, such as Canada, collect census data on transgender people. Statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely, in part due to differing definitions of transgender. The opposite of transgender is cisgender, which describes people whose gender identity matches their assigned sex. Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation, and transgender people may be of any sexual orientation. The term does not have a universally accepted definition, including among researchers. Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or else conceptualize transgender people as a third gender, and the term may be defined very broadly to include cross-dressers. In addition to trans men and trans women, it may also include people who are non-binary or genderqueer. Those who do desire to medically transition to another sex may identify as transsexual. Not all transgender people desire these treatments, however, and others may be unable to access them for financial or medical reasons.
Additionally, they may undergo sex reassignment therapies such as hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery to more closely align their primary and secondary sex characteristics with their gender identity. Many transgender people experience dysphoria, which they seek to alleviate through transitioning, often adopting a different name and set of pronouns in the process. A transgender (often abbreviated as trans) person is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth.
