The New Zealand study in 2013 based on a questionnaire of high school students said the 3.7% of those polled identified as transgender. It does not mean that they would transition.
The Australian Workers survey of LGBTIQA people in the work place came in with 7% people who were gender diverse as opposed to being LGBIQA. This was interpreted as these people identified as transgender, obviously this is open to discussion.
The rated reported for people seeking counselling at the gender clinics in Australia is suggesting the 3-4% level may be accurate.
However Australia and New Zealand are (generally) openly accepting of transgender people and have strong anti-discrimination laws. When prohibitive laws are passed the number of people seeking help drops.

Good for your country. North Carolina USA is a mess, stupid "Baptist" lawmakers are trying to stop use of bathrooms for all.....It's a real mess in some states & countries. My plastic surgeon for GRS has her practice in that state. She is fighting it but having a difficult time.
