Survey of over 90,000 trans people shows vast improvement in life satisfaction after transition

A survey of more than 92,000 transgender people in the United States found that the vast majority reported more life satisfaction after transitioning, despite facing discrimination in healthcare and the workplace settings. 

Early insights from the survey - which aims to broadly examine the experiences of transgender people in the United States - were released on Thursday. The findings show that people who transitioned were largely happier with their life after the process, though many people who identify as transgender or non-binary said they dealt with discrimination in the workplace or in healthcare settings. 

Some respondents said that they were even considering moving across state lines to avoid discriminatory legislation.
