Conclusions
In the earliest moments of crafting the National Transgender Discrimination
Survey questionnaire, research team members wondered whether the NTDS
should collect data on gender variant people who did not identify as transgender.
Study team members theorized that transgender-identified people were likely to face more significant discrimination and abuse than gender nonconforming folks; our belief, based on anecdotal work in our communities, was that genderqueers generally were faring better than
their transgender FTM and MTF peers.
In the end, the team decided that it would be important to compare the experiences of genderqueer and transgender respondents and to examine how anti-transgender bias impacted people across a spectrum of
gender identities.
