A NEW LOOK AT TRANS IN AMERICA. The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation have done a study on American adults classified as trans. The headline of the Washington Post write-up of the study is:"Most trans adults say transitioning made them more satisfied with their lives." That's the story the Washington Post wants to emphasize. But some of the information in the study might also help inform the political debate about how to handle the issue in U.S.
This is, in other words, a very small group. And the number, 1.6 million, includes the significant number of young Americans, between the ages of 13 and 17, who are increasingly calling themselves trans. To the degree that that reflects a certain amount of social contagion and not some new, never-before-seen biological reality, the total estimate of trans people in America, 1.6 million, might actually shrink in the next few years as some of those 13-17-year-olds age.
The survey covers some of the basic facts of the lives of people who call themselves trans. For example, it reveals that a large majority — 69% — of people who call themselves trans have not used hormone treatments. An even larger majority — 84% — have not had surgery. Most of them, 77%, told researchers they simply changed the types of clothes they wear and/or their hairstyle.
The survey also looked into the everyday behavior of people who call themselves trans. It found that a large majority — 70% — do not present themselves as trans in public all the time. Some never do."Trans people don't always present as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth," the Washington Post said."Three in ten trans people physically present as a different gender all the time, while 20 percent do so 'most of the time.
