The U.S. Trans Survey (USTS) is the largest survey of trans people in the United States. The USTS documents the lives and experiences of trans people in the U.S. and U.S. territories. The last time data was collected was back in 2015. That year, nearly 28,000 people took the survey!
The USTS is the main source of data about trans people for the media, educators, policymakers, and the general public, covering health, employment, income, the criminal justice system, etc. USTS reports have been a vital resource, including the reports on the experiences of people of color and reports by state.
It is vital that we ensure that this survey includes data about historically and continually forcibly marginalized groups, including Black and Brown folks, those in rural areas, disabled folks, and more.
So, if you are ages 16+ and are transgender, nonbinary, etc., please consider pledging to take the survey when it’s out later this year.
Note: By submitting this pledge form, you’ll receive email updates from the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) about the survey. Pledging to take the survey does not obligate you to take the survey. Participation is voluntary. You will be asked to consent to take the survey later when the survey enrollment begins.
