Interesting.

Some of those studies I might be inclined to be skeptical of as either being too recent (if there's been a social push to question might that push numbers higher) or too far back (if there was a lot of stigma with being trans, might that push things too far the other way)

(And another one is about "effeminate behavior" not "dysphoria".)

At least based on the dates there, this one:

Wallien, M. S. C., & Cohen-Kettenis, P. T. (2008). Psychosexual outcome of gender-dysphoric children. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 47, 1413–1423.

Lists:

trans-21/54

cis-33/54

(It does not further break down gay/lesbian)

That's got a higher percentage, but still < 50%

I have not read that paper, it stood out to me both as a good year(late enough for gay rights early enough before the recent rise), the highest percentage, and definitely (based on the title) about dysphoria.
