These figures came from Walinder in Sweden, and are over 40 years old now. Better numbers are in the World Professional Association for Transgender Health "Standards of Care" from over 5 years ago:

"The earliest estimates of prevalence for transsexualism in adults were 1 in 37,000 males and 1 in 107,000 females. The most recent prevalence information from the Netherlands for the transsexual end of the gender identity disorder spectrum is 1 in 11,900 males and 1 in 30,400 females."

But never mind. I can't expect a philosopher to know such details, and in philosophy (unlike biology) textbooks don't become obsolete every 5 years.
