Our new report finds that 93% of transgender adults surveyed after the 2024 election but before the inauguration were concerned about what a Trump presidency might mean for transgender people.

Nearly two-thirds of the sample were very concerned (40%) or somewhat concerned (25%) about their future access to gender-affirming care. Over a quarter (28%)—especially those with lower incomes or living in less-affirming states—reported that they were delaying or forgoing certain aspects of gender-affirming care they had planned to pursue.

Approximately 80% of respondents said that they would make changes to their behavior, appearance, or speech to downplay visibility as a transgender person.

We hope you can join us on Wednesday, May 21 in Washington, DC for the Williams Institute's annual DC Spring Reception. The evening will feature a panel discussion on the evolving landscape of LGBTQ law and policy with Victor Madrigal-Borloz, Jocelyn Samuels, and Reggie Greer. RSVP today! 

Join us for a free half-day conference examining the impact of the Trump administration’s first 100 days on LGBTQ people. The afternoon also features the finale of our moot court competition and a reception following the event. Participants can earn up to 3.25 hours of CLE for attending.
