It's the National Center for Transgender Equality 2015 survey. It's available online. It's kind of discredited because of the methodology, however, trans activists cherry pick the numbers from it whenever those numbers support their arguments. This might be the link:

There's another NIH study (IIRC) that had an even higher rate of TiMs who kept their male genitalia; I saw it in an article, but when I clicked on the link the study was gone. Fancy that - the National Institute of Health doesn't want us to know the % of TiMs who keep their dicks...

Another source is this article that appeared in the journal Translational Andrology and Urology in June 2019:

Genital GCS is generally less common than chest surgery, with prevalence rates of ... **5–10% for transgender women (7,9,32). For transgender women, genital GCS comprises a number of procedures, including vaginoplasty (most commonly intestinal or penile inversion) with labiaplasty and/or clitoroplasty, penectomy, and orchiectomy. Transgender women report bottom surgery at rates between 5–13% (7-9,32).

Thanks so much for this. Women, please bookmark because this proves that the TiMs who want access to our, and often our childrens', sex-segregated spaces are still mostly intact males.

I'd also go with the first statement, the one I highlighted, coz it speaks of "prevalence rates" rather than the rates that TIMs report.

There are multiple papers reporting a very low rate of genital surgeries in TIMs. This report from the US journal Transgender Health in 2016 showed that out of the 234 TIMs studied and considered to be representative of the population of "TW" in the US overall, only 11 - or 4.7% - had undergone genital surgery.

A much higher percentage of TIMs will tell pollsters, online surveys and HCPs that they intend to get genital surgeries at some point down the line, but they rarely actually do so. Even males who are basically "professionally trans" and base their entire lives and livelihoods around claiming to be women, such as Gigi Gorgeous and Blaire White, usually end up deciding not to get genital surgeries. In fact, Gorgeous and White have made videos saying they see the results of such surgeries as repulsive in appearance, smell and function.

TIMS tend to be very much into their dicks, which is why they are trying to simply rebrand them by pushing for normalization and widespread acceptance of the ridiculous concept of "the female penis" and "girl dick."

It is really important that we let everyone know that most TiMs have intact male genitalia!

So thanks for chasing this study down - Bookmarked!
