The National Center for Transgender Equality teamed up with a number of organizations to create the largest survey of transgender and gender diverse people. The data was taken in 2022 and included a whopping 92,329 trans folk! So how about that!
The survey can be found here and you can access it for free. The last survey was done in 2015 with 27,000 folks, so this one is much larger and there is new data.
Of those surveyed, interestingly in itself, is that 25% were trans guys, 35% were trans gals, and 38 percent were nonbinary. The remaining 2% defined as cross-dressers. There is a great deal more demographic data available such as race/ethnicity and age. Those under the age of 44 makeup the largest group of responders.
The survey covers a broad range of topics which include:
- Experiences with health providers
- Life satisfaction regarding transition
- Familial support
- Employment discrimination
- Restroom issues
- Harrassment and violence
- Experiences with law enforcement
- Legal matters such as gender markers
- School experiences
- The states trans were most likely to move away from
It’s quite a survey so take a look. The full results are still pending, but there is much here. Data is important and this survey is quite powerful!
