An estimated 1.4 million transgender adults living in the United States and an additional 140,000 transgender youth ages 13 to 17. With greater societal awareness and acceptance, many people who have otherwise remained closeted have come out as transgender in the past several years. Transgender people face a different set of issues when seeking health care.
