Verification note. Gallup's 2024-03-13 release states 'slightly less than 1% of U.S. adults and about one in eight LGBTQ+ adults are transgender'; Gallup's Walton Family Foundation-linked reporting on the same 2023 aggregate gives 0.9% of adults and 2.8% among Gen Z adults. Survey Methods paragraph read from the release.
