THE U.S. TRANS SURVEY LAUNCHES SUMMER 2015!!!! I've signed up! Its time to be heard!!
"ABOUT THE SURVEY
The U.S. Trans Survey is the new name of the largest survey ever devoted to the lives and experiences of trans people. It is the follow up to the groundbreaking National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), which was developed by the National LGBTQ Task Force and NCTE and released in the 2011 report called Injustice at Every Turn.
The NTDS has been the source for data on trans people and has provided critical information for advocates, policymakers, media, and academics with over 15,000 media hits. The USTS will be conducted every 5 years to learn about trans people's experiences over time, how things are changing, and what needs to be done to improve the lives of trans people.
The USTS is a survey for all trans identities, including trans, genderqueer, and non-binary people, and will be the largest and most diverse trans sample to date. The USTS is our community's survey: the USTS data set and results will be available to community advocates, organizations, and researchers for years to come."

Have it sitting here for the time being.
Need to run it by Susan to see her wishes on this one.
Thank you very much Mrs. Izzy :)
Was I discriminated against for being trans? Yes
Does it bother me? No
Do I want somebody to do something (whatever that something is) about it? No
I took some kind of survey years ago (maybe 10 or more years ago). It didn't make any difference then and it won't make any difference now. I don't want to be a negative nancy but I don't see the purpose.

If you think its pointless then keep living your life happily and redirect your attention away from this thread honey. Because you're being just that. A negative nancy.

And another thing.. YES ONE VOICE WONT MAKE A DENT. But 1000 voices will! And in order to get 1000 voices you have to input your ONE VOICE.

Thank you for sharing this, as someone new to transitioning, I want to share what I know and experience so maybe down the road someone else will be able to not have a road block.

I wonder if there's any point in me participating since I haven't personally experienced anything significantly negative related to being trans? Would my input be useful in any way?
Signed up. Can't wait. I may not have been wearing these heels as long as most.. But I know my voice may help in some way. And I def want to make all our lives better.

Nice!!! :) keep us posted!!
Signed up too
I tried to sign but it did not work, got a "fatal error" message (not my first now that I think of it ::) ). Well in all seriousness I'll just call the number and register that way, because I have no idea what a fatal buffer error is anyway. Looks good though and I'll share it with my trans support group.

Just signed up! :D
I'll try to do it when I get home.
Signed up
I signed up. :angel:

Just signed up.
:)
Found this on have a gay day this morning. DONE!
Signed up! Maybe I'll have some valid input once it becomes available. :)
My only concern with this is that then there is a fairly large list of transgender people living in the US that someone somewhere has access to... Maybe I'm just paranoid.
I may end up signing up; thanks for posting this.
Just signed up
I signed up earlier this summer.
Sorry i didnt see this earlier. This is what it said to me.
Thank you for making your voice count by taking the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey.
The survey closed on September 21st, so we are no longer collecting survey responses.
We know that you're excited to learn what we found. Our team is working hard to prepare the data for analysis over the next several months. We anticipate that findings will be available in mid-2016.
