As the follow-up to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey will become our community’s go-to source for information about the lives and experiences of trans people.
More than 6,400 people took the NTDS, and over 7,000 people have already pledged to take the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey when it becomes available on August 19th. But we’re far short of the 20,000 pledges we need to ensure we double the number of people who complete the U.S. Trans Survey from the NTDS.
That’s why we have designated July 28th - 30th as the U.S. Trans Survey Awareness Week--to help find as many trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary people as possible to complete the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey.
Get involved in the U.S. Trans Survey Awareness Week below to see how you can help reach this goal.

If you haven't taken the survey before please consider taking it this year. A statistical base provides ammunition to argue our cause politically.

Trusting
Things like this always make me nervous. A group I've never heard of before suddenly wants me to "fill out a survey". There are groups and organizations I have heard of that could have promoted this and I'd believe it was legit. But this gives me sort of a nervous feeling in my stomach.
I've done my best flying under the radar and now some new group wants me to surrender my information. Having had enemies before this tends to make me a wee bit paranoid.
I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
Unfortunately, I no longer trust.
I have had too many nasty run-ins with too many people and come close to dying more than once.
Providing information of any kind causes my otherwise extreme paranoia to reach biblical proportions.
ie. I go from 9mm type of action to nukes.

It is always prudent to be cautious with anything that asks for personal information. When a link is embedded in an email or I get a phone call soliciting information first verify thing like whether the link URL or phone number match the organizations real information.
If you go to the web site for the National Center for Transgender Equality (which has a physical address and which has been helping the community since 2003) you will find a link to the "U. S. Trans Survey" and it directs to "www.ustranssurvey.org"
