Transgender People

An estimated 2.8 million people ages 13 and older in the U.S. identify as transgender. We study discrimination and bias against transgender people and other gender minorities and examine how these experiences affect their health and socioeconomic well-being.

This data interactive summarizes key findings from our report How Many Adults and Youth Identify as Transgender in the United States?
