The U.S. Trans Survey is the largest survey of trans people, by trans people, in the United States. The USTS documents the lives and experiences of trans and nonbinary people ages 16+ in the U.S. and U.S. territories.
USTS reports have been a vital resource, including the reports on the experiences of people of color and reports by state. In 2015, nearly 28,000 people took the USTS. A lot has happened since then – and it’s time to conduct the USTS again in 2022.
Help us continue to be the largest, most diverse sample across all identities. Please spread the word to ensure that people of color, older people, those who live in rural areas, immigrants, Spanish speakers, those who are HIV+, and others hear about the survey. More than ever, it’s important to ensure that trans voices will shape the future.
The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. The questions can be very personal and challenging, but always affirming of the trans experience in all of its diversity. It is completely anonymous, and every question is optional. You can skip individual questions or entire sections if you want, for any or no reason. You can always change your mind, go back and change responses, or not submit your responses at all, if you choose.
Conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality, with Translatin@ Coalition, National Black Trans Advocacy Coalition (BTAC), and the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA).
