1. It is extremely difficult to determine the prevalence of transsexualism in the United States. One study, based on data from smaller countries in Europe, estimates that roughly 1 per 30,000 adult males and 1 per 100,000 adult females seek sex reassignment surgery (less than 0.01 percent of the population). In the United States, an estimated 6,000 to 10,000 transsexuals had undergone sex reassignment surgery by 1988, suggesting that the transsexual population in the United States is much less than 0.01 percent. See MILDRED L. BROWN & CHLOE ANN ROUNSLEY, TRUE SELVES: UNDERSTANDING TRANSSEXUALISM - FOR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, COWORKERS, AND HELPING PROFESSIONALS 8-9 (1996).
