Not all transgender people identify as women, and an even smaller number consists of transgender women hoping to compete in girls' and women's sports.
Privacy laws make it tough to identify the exact number of transgender athletes competing in public school sports, but researcher and medical physicist Joanna Harper estimates the number can't exceed 100 nationwide.
"While we don't know the exact number of trans women competing in NCAA sports, I would be very surprised if there were more than 100 of them in the women's category," Harper told Newsweek.
One hundred transgender athletes would comprise an incredibly small number of the U.S. population, and the number dwindles even further when it comes to middle school and high school athletes.
Gillian Branstetter, a spokesperson for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the number of transgender athletes isn't comprehensive, but she's also certain it's a very small portion of the nation's population. Branstetter told Newsweek that Save Women's Sports, an organization advocating for banning transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports, identified only five transgender athletes competing on girls' teams in school sports for grades K through 12.
However, transgender athletes that do compete in women's sports pack a punch when it comes to conservative responses.
In Washington, an outcry exhibited by Republican legislators and some parents made national news when a transgender female student-athlete at Seattle Academy competed with girls after leaving the boys' team. The transgender student won several races on the girls' team and was a top finisher in others. Scrutiny arose after learning that when competing on the boys' team, the student never performed better than 25th place.
The news led to cries of unfairness from Republicans, including Caitlyn Jenner, who transitioned in 2015.
Jenner was an Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete prior to transitioning. She, among other conservatives, believes that as transgender people gain more visibility, the transgender population will continue to increase. Jenner recently called the transgender population "oversaturated" and blamed the increasing numbers on indoctrination caused by the Democrats.
On Thursday, Jenner praised Steube's efforts in passing the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
"HR 734 passed along party lines. @RepGregSteube did a phenomenal job- the GOP is the party that stands for women whiles Dems are trying to ERASE WOMEN! Not one Dem support
