Wow, way to confuse "transgender" and "transsexual." I understand that the media use the words almost interchangeably. Sometimes I do too when talking about my experience, in order to avoid discussion about bits and surgury and hormones and other things that aren't anyone's business but my own. But when you use a word, you ought to have at a minimum some idea of what you mean by it, and the writer here clearly doesn't. Hence "transgrender" as an umbrella term describes roughly 1% of the popluation, while "transgender" as a synonym for "transsexual, post-transition" describes .0025% of the population according to some studies from the '70's or something (though the number today is probably on the order of one per thousand or so).
