Now intersexed is not at all the same thing as trans, but it does put into perspective the relative frequency of people who may experience some form of gender dysphoria.
There is scholarly criscism of this number, with a strict definition of intesexed as when"
chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female" resulting in a rate of 0.018% of the population. Much less frequent, but still adds up to almost 70,000 Canadians.
