Neither is widely accepted to be 12-15%. Even the most lenient studies would suggest, at most, 2% to fall under a "transgender" umbrella which would include bigenders. And I'm talking about modern studies, not archaic methods of determining this such as used in the DSM IV (which by the way is a fairly authoritative book which puts the number between 1:30,000 to 1:100,000). Intersex, or what was historically called hermaphroditism, is just as rare. Even more liberal definitions would put the prevalence of intersex individuals at less than 2%. <a href="http://www.uta.edu/english/timothyr/Fausto-Sterling.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.uta.edu/english/timothyr/Fausto-Sterling.pdf</a></blockquote>
