I'm glad it has 'total' - but for this type of data, I'd prefer it it looked something more like [this](https://www.livepopulation.com/images/chart_sex_ratio_india....) where distribution and total size are both easily viewable

that has its benefits, but you also loose the ability to see the difference between men and women across the distribution. like the ratio at 70+ vs the ratio at 0-4

True - I tried to find an example where it was centered horizontally - but couldn't quickly. Ideally I would like this (ignore the terrible paint job and alpha channel messing things up):
Where you see both volume, distribution, percent, as well as the trendline (white) where you can see how the distribution changes - how the total count changes, and easily understand any data point at any given spot.
