The numbers come from a range from the DSM-V that the anti-LBGT American College of Pediatricians (the group formed because they were against gays adopting) tries to distort. 

The DSM-V, in reference to children who experience gender dysphoria (which is just the distress not the identity), states that anywhere from 2-30% of males and 2-50% of females who experience gender dysphoria before puberty will experience it after as well. 

So this group wants us to ignore what gender dysphoria is (instead saying "gender confused" in their press release) and focus on just the low end. It also ignores the rather loose criteria of what gender dysphoria is in children versus teens and adults. If your kid doesn't want to play with trucks, likes pink shirts, and plays with girls, he could be classified as having gender dysphoria under DSM-V. 

Source: Google the DSM-V. It's pages 450-455.
