Results From Our Survey Finally Online!
2009 November 8
Hey folks, we finally put the summary of our results from the survey on gender segregated spaces on the website. Here’s just a sample:
- 65 (70 percent) reported experiencing problems accessing public gender-segregated space, such as having been denied access to, verbally harassed in, and/or physically assaulted in public bathrooms.
- 13 of 31 respondents (42 percent) who attended school in DC reported being denied access and/or verbally harassed in gender-segregated facilities at school.
- Almost half (46%) of all respondents made less than 20,000 dollars a year. 8 (9%) had no insurance and 10 (11%) were on Medicare/Medicaid.
- Of the respondents who indicated they wanted some kind of medical procedure to help them transition, 34 of 57 (60%) said they could not afford it.
