Disclaimer:

Since production of this video, an updated U.S. Trans Survey (USTS) from 2022 was released and was “expanded to address lessons learned from the 2015 USTS, respond to the evolving sociopolitical landscape and increase knowledge of the lives and experiences of trans people in the United States.” Early insights (many of which show a similar trend to the 2015 data) can be viewed here.
