1. There's no official count of trans athletes in youth, high school or college sports.

Most sports associations at youth, high school and college levels do not keep a count on how many trans athletes are competing.

Where policies do exist, their implementations are unique. In Ohio, transgender students must apply to compete on sports teams they identify with and are accepted on a case by case basis. "Since the fall of 2015, there have been 48 transgender rulings and of those, there have been only 11 transgender female approvals," a spokesperson from the Ohio High School Athletic Association said in a statement

At the collegiate level, there are at least 50 trans women competing on female sports teams in the United States, according to Joanna Harper, an author and researcher at Britain's Loughborough University. Harper believes there are hundreds of trans athletes on men's sports teams who have yet to transition and said it would be "almost impossible" to determine how many trans athletes are competing at the youth and high school level.

There are 1.4 million adults who identify as transgender in the U.S., which is less than 1% of the population in each state, according to the Williams Institute at UCLA's law school. That number is more difficult to determine for trans children because many are in various stages of transitioning or possibly fear for their safety.

Jules Gill-Peterson, a professor of gender, sexuality and women's studies at the University of Pittsburgh, said history suggests many trans children stay hidden out of fear for their safety. "Trans children have been going to school, going to the doctor, and living in our communities for over a century," Gill-Peterson said. "They just weren't always visible. So we're actually dealing with a new issue that really relies on a kind of historical amnesia."

If it's an actual thing, why is there no data?
