TransYouth Family Allies Calls for Survey Participation

Calling all parents, grandparents and caregivers of gender variant and transgender children—we need your participation!

TransYouth Family Allies (TYFA) is sponsoring an online survey to gather statistical information about our children and families. Your participation is confidential and anonymous. You may answer as many or as few questions as you are comfortable with. The purpose of the survey is to gather data from parents, grandparents, or primary caregivers of gender-variant and transgender children under the age of 18. This includes children who self-identify as transgender, both genders, a third gender, or neither gender.

From this survey we hope to gather information regarding the prevalence of families dealing with gender expression difference, the age of its onset, and if any type of social or medical transition has been pursued.

One of the obstacles TYFA often faces in our educational workshops is the lack of statistics to support the work we are doing. The data gathered will enable us to publish more current and accurate information about our children and families, as well as support our requests for more formal/comprehensive studies.

Please forward the survey link to families with gender-different children and to organizations, counselors, medical practitioners, social service personnel, or anyone who may come in contact with these children/families. The broader the response, the more useful the data.
