John– Our latest report, Health and Wellbeing: Findings from the 2022 U.S. Trans Survey , is out today! Informed by the experiences of 84,000 trans people across the United States, this new report provides important insights into the health and wellbeing of our community.
We are proud to bring you a comprehensive resource with data on the physical and mental health of trans people, as well as analysis of their interactions with healthcare providers and transition-related care.

Here are 4 key findings:
1. 1. Living out our true identities is crucial to health and wellbeing . Respondents who had socially or medically transitioned reported having better health and being more satisfied with their life, compared to those who hadn’t.
2. Family support is not just important for health–it’s lifesaving. Respondents with supportive families reported substantially better health and fewer thoughts of suicide than those with unsupportive families.
3. Most trans people are getting the routine and mental care they need. Most respondents were able to access routine and mental healthcare when they needed it. Compared to 2015, when the survey was previously conducted, more respondents felt treated with respect by their healthcare provider.
4. Access to transition-related care is increasing, but gaps in healthcare access and outcomes remain. More respondents received transition-related care in 2022 compared to 2015, but the gap between those who wanted it and those who received it was significant. Respondents also reported worse health and were insured at lower rates compared to the general population.
