    Not sure if this is a sarcastic or genuine comment. Regardless a quick google came up with these estimates.

    intersex 0.018% or 1.7% depending on what you include in the definition of intersex. transgender: 0.5%

    So depending on your definition of intersex it can be 3 times as many intersected people compared to transgender or 28 times as many transgender compared to intersex.

    Imo it’s very likely a big intersection in these two subpopulations.
