In this article a counsellor says “Trans children are in every school…If a school has 1000 students, 10 of them will be trans, whether they go on to transition or not." Does anyone know what evidence this estimate is based on? For an article.https://twitter.com/dailytelegraph/status/1037092367214555136 …

Its not useful at all - these are not data but ESTIMATES based on a telephone survey (validity?). The estimation methods have been widely criticised and since no person under the age of 18 undertook the survey they used they estimated the incidence from the adult estimates

The first study you presented puts it at closer to 0.4% if it’s 390 per 100,000.

Fits studies I've read on this before. If I find a further breakdown of sexual dysphoria by type (not all trans are the same kind) I'll post it. The "typical" MtF type dominates with something like 0.3% incidence in the general population. I've not seen cross-cultural stats.
