"Notably, transgender persons appear twice as likely as members of the general population to serve in the military"
Past reading about this on reddit, it appears a ton of transfems enlisted in the military as an attempt to "save their masculinity" pre egg crack. No idea about trans men
AFAB trans are 3 times more likely and AMAB trans are 1.6 times as likely
Yes. But the US rate of openly trans people is like 6 out of 1000. The army is 7.5 out of 1000. So it's not a huge margin when we don't know how many stealth, closeted or eggs in either population.
Edit: I used the above figures in my maths, but it's a bit higher because the military is like 1.4million. which is just above 1% or 10 out of 1000. But the comment still stands that in the military where you can't exactly be stealth, but you were also safe to be out of the closet for a while recently, it might not be that different from actual rates.
15,000 out of about 2 million? Are trans people disproportionately represented in the military?
