It's more like 10%, the official statistics are 1-2%, but in the younger ages where people are less closeted it's more like 5%, and there are still a lot of young people trapped in culture and religion that are closeted, ao I predict around 10%

Depends I've heard lots of middle school girls identify as whatever then highschool they don't. Cause everything needs a label. Before we had tomboys no your gender fluid or trans or whatever label they think they have to give themselves or others give them. They are just kids trying to figure stuff out why not avoid labeling till they do. Sure some might now which is great for them. And I doubt 10% of population is trans.

And of course you're a misogynistic transphobe dipshit too. Unreal.

Hey, dummy, "tomboy" is a label, and this is the exact age kids are learning what they want to express their gender as. Of course you also think it's just "women," because it's 2010 and you saw the helicopter meme.
