Federal surveys like the US Census are gradually taking their transgender respondents into account. But they rarely ask specific questions unique to trans life: Have they been denied access to reproductive health care? Is their life better than it was before they came out as trans?

Enter the US Trans Survey, the largest survey in the country specifically geared toward trans and nonbinary people. Conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and open until November 21, its results will be quoted by journalists, academics and legislators for the next five years.

The survey is especially important now, given the intense focus on the rights of trans Americans in political arenas. Trans residents of the US remain an understudied population that represents half a percent of all Americans – there are an estimated 1.6 million trans people 13 and older living in the US, according to the Williams Institute, UCLA Law’s LGBTQ think tank – but continue to be targeted by lawmakers.

Transgender “treatment” is sterilization funded by the Federal Gov.
Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death tried similar things at Auschwitz for the same reason.

I’m taking the idiot survey now. I picked “other” for my identity. I’m a trans-transgender non-binary lesbian.
