That’s why I appreciate the Disabled & Deaf Trans People’s Survey (DTPS). It allows for flexibility, nuance, and richness to include different ways that we—Trans, nonbinary, Disabled and Deaf people—embody ourselves. Unlike others, this survey’s goal is to identify ourselves with our own words and terms. That’s really exciting!

The DTPS is accountable to our communities because it is an effort led by and for disabled trans people. It was created to center and organize folks both within our communities and push for greater accountability outside of our communities.

So far we have gathered hundreds of entries from trans, disabled and Deaf people—and we need to hear more from those of us who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to better inform and direct trans justice work, and more broadly for racial, economic, and gender justice  for all.

Because of who we are, we know all these issues are interconnected as we live this each day. Working towards a more just world means taking an abolitionist approach and dismantling the systems that support ableism, transphobia, and anti-Black racism.

Who better to shape how we can do this, and what would need to happen to get there, than BIPOC and low income trans, disabled and Deaf people?

If you are trans and disabled the Disability Project wants to learn from you. Take the survey today!
