TL;DR Summary

The largest nationwide survey of over 90,000 transgender individuals in the U.S. conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality reveals ongoing workplace and medical discrimination, with one-third experiencing poverty and 18% unemployed. Despite this, the overwhelming majority report increased life satisfaction after transitioning. The survey also highlights mistreatment in healthcare and schools, as well as the impact of anti-trans legislation, with nearly half considering moving to other states due to discriminatory laws. However, the majority of respondents report having supportive families. The survey aims to provide crucial data for transgender advocacy and policy-making.
