In response to the Census, 118,000 people indicated that they were transgender but did not specify whether they identified as a trans woman or a trans man. Of those who did, the data was evenly split between those who identified as trans men, and those who identified as trans women – with 48,000 people identifying as each.

The ratio of those that disclosed was a third trans men, a third trans women, and another third nonbinary or other gender identities. Assuming the did not disclose trans individuals follow the same pattern, that’s 78,600 trans women.
