U.Va’s TGNC Survey needs your input!

The University of Virginia’s This Great New Community (TGNC) Survey has been in the field for 18 months, and has hit a wall in their recruitment of participants. Right now they have about 420 participants – that’s well short of the number needed to fully represent the Trans and Non-binary population of the Commonwealth. UCLA’s Williams Institute (an LGBTQ think tank) recently revised its estimate of our population in VA from about 34,500 adults in 2016 to 31,400 adults this year. More survey participants are needed.
So, in an effort to help the University, TGEA is asking members of the TG community to help by participating in this survey.

They are reimbursing participants for their time with $50 gift cards from Target or Walmart. They are especially interested in Trans and Non-binary people of color, and older TGNC people. As you know, surveys like this are rare (the first survey of the Trans population of VA was 2004-2006) and thus we must make them count.

To start, please visit TGNCSURVEY.com and request an interest form.

Thank you for your help with this!
