1988:Transgender People = Transsexual People
Anchorage Daily News reprint of LA Times, Aug. 1, 1988 Biological women, thought to account for only 6 percent of the nation’s transsexual population in the early 1950s, now make up around 25 percent of the 10,000 to 25,000 trans-gender people in the United States, according to a survey of those in the filed.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“1988:Transgender People = Transsexual People” may matter to affected communities because it organizes evidence or documented claims about transgender identity and history and places them alongside empirical and quantitative research. This can help readers distinguish the article’s evidentiary contribution from broader commentary on the subject.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2011 at Cristan’s Research, “1988:Transgender People = Transsexual People” provides dated evidence of how transgender identity and history was being argued in relation to empirical and quantitative research. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
No dominant policy frame was detected in “1988:Transgender People = Transsexual People.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of transgender identity and history may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
