2022 U.S. Transgender Survey Reveals Persistent Challenges and Positive Outcomes for Trans Individuals

Despite facing increased discrimination and legislative attacks, transgender Americans report higher life satisfaction post-transition, according to the largest survey of its kind.

Transgender Americans continue to face significant economic and health disparities, with unemployment and poverty rates increasing since the 2015 survey.
The 2022 U.S. Transgender Survey, the largest of its kind, reveals that despite facing discrimination, the majority of transgender people report higher life satisfaction after transitioning.
Anti-transgender legislation has prompted nearly half of the survey respondents to consider moving to another state, with 5% having already done so.
Family support for transgender individuals remains relatively stable, with a significant portion of respondents reporting supportive immediate families.
The survey highlights the urgent need for comprehensive data on transgender Americans to inform policy and combat misinformation.
