34000/12000 = 2.8333 rounded to 3 for the sake of the equation

so...
in a group of 34000 people there will be an estimated 3 MTF and 1 FTM.
or did I majorly fuck this up?

lol

No.. it's the part where you said:

"males are MTF and 1 out of 34000 females are FTM..."

MTFs are women.

FTMs are men.

I woindered if that wasn't what you were talking about. It sort of caught me, but I figured cam was quoting a study and guessed the study was referring to 1 out of 12000 identified as males at birth are MTF so actually identify as woman and 1 out of 34000 identified at birth as female are FTMs so actually identify as men.

oh my mistake, I was refering to biological males and female- the gender before transistioning. so odds are 1 out of 34000 females is transgender and will transition into a male.
