The US Trans Survey is in February 2022 & it helps determine government funding

Pledge to take the U.S. Trans Survey

from the asks:

Would it be helpful for non-trans people to take the survey, or should we just stay out of it?

TLDR: if you are cis, signal boost the hell out of this survey instead. signal boost it to various communities, especially ones reaching out to marginalized communities. if you are trans, then please also signal boost the hell out of this survey too.

We need to signal boost this to rural & non-urban-areas so the trans people there get counted, we need API (Asian, Pacific Islander) trans people to get counted. We need bi/pan trans people, we need military veterans, we need other demographics too so please contact the people who are conducting this survey. Here are their information.

You can be in a different country, and still fill out the non-US-citizen survey, as long as you’re trans.

Do Not Hesistate With Any Question or Accessibility Problem, Please Contact & Ask These People:

  • General USTS team - Equipo general de la USTS ustranssurvey@transequality.org
  • Josie CaballeroUSTS Project Manager – Dirección de Gestión de la USTS jcaballero@transequality.org; 202-804-6057
  • Sybastian Smith NCTE National Organizer – Organizador Nacional NCTE ssmith@transequality.org; 202-804-6042
  • Alex del Rosario – USTS Outreach Manager – Gestión de Difusión de la USTS adelrosario@transequality.org; 202-804-6052

Other Q&A’s that came up during a 2021 November 16th presentation:

  • firstly, NCTE USTS did not get authority (IRB approval) to go into the protected class of incarcerated trans people
  • secondly, you don’t have to be a US-citizen to contribute data, but you will be given a non-us-citizen survey.
  • If you reside in the US but are just temporarily abroad, then you would be able to respond to the US-resident survey. If you are permamently living abroad, you would take the survey for non-US residents.
  • if you have any other questions about these categories then please contact the USTS team for help.

The rough timeline for the USTS:

  1. Pledge Period is until the end of January
  2. Fielding Period starts around the beginning of February with a 6 week survey window
  3. Report writing with start shortly thereafter and go until end of 2022

You need to be trans to take the survey, but anyone can know a trans person.

Hey y'all important thing: YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR NAME

I was a little antsy about them asking for it, but I noticed there wasn’t a star next to it, so I tried submitting it with the field blank and it worked!!

So if that’s a thing your concerned about, I’m pretty sure you can submit only the information that isn’t starred and be good to go (with the exception of your email I’m assuming because they’re going to send a link to the survey there)

Also, @thehugwizard can you boost?

Boost!!!!

Biggest boost of all boosts! I am not exaggerating at all when I say that almost every piece of scholarly research or policy around US trans folks I have read or been a part of in the last 5 years has referenced data from the first USTS back in 2015. I cannot overstate how impactful the first survey has been, and the 2022 survey is following in its footsteps.

Please consider participating. Numbers drive policy, research, and funding!

hi i'm so so sorry but i urgently need $40 so that i can get an uber home from work today (2/22) and tomorrow. the temps are in the negatives and it'll be snowing on and off. walking in cold weather is extremely dangerous for me especially because i'm physically disabled and i don't own many warm clothes. even a dollar helps, thank you so much <3
