You have it backwards.
prevalence of Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY male, with symptoms): 1 in 1000 men
prevalence of Transsexual men ("biological" men who identify as women): 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 4,500
(source: Wikipedia, but the references for these statistics appear to be in legitimate scientific publications)
- dgordon 17y agoActually, prevalence of transsexual women (the accepted term for what you meant, since "women" is what they identify as) is probably quite a bit higher than that. http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/TSprevalence.html http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/TSprevalence.html does an analysis that concludes that said prevalence is on the order of 1 in 500. But I don't think we were talking about transsexuality, which is something different from the intersex conditions which might make this whole business of sex testing more complicated than one might expect.
