TRANS ON TRANSIT SURVEY: Research from a Trans* Lounge Member
I’m Tam, a doctoral student, from the department of Urban Planning at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am conducting my PhD dissertation research study, titled “Trans on Transit: The mobility & public transit experiences of transgender & nonbinary people.” As you can tell from the title, I am researching the transit experiences of people who are trans. There’s very little data on this. As a non-binary genderqueer bus and train rider myself, I want to help change that. Do you ride or have ridden transit at least once a week? Do you identify as trans*? If you’re willing to take a brief survey about your transit experiences, please click this link or the link below. The survey will take about 10 minutes of your time. *Trans identities include, but are not limited to, transgender, two-spirit, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, pangender, agender, bi-gender, third gender, and/or gender non-conforming.

As non-binary and intersex identities are becoming more visible and understood by the public, there remains very little data and research around mental health and related issues/challenges regarding non-binary and intersex people. The objective of the Non-Binary & Intersex Mental Health Survey is to promote mental health services, reduce stigma and barriers to mental health services for the non-binary and intersex communities, and increase the capacity of the public mental health system in Los Angeles County. Participants do not need to be a current LA County resident, just have either lived in LA County or utilized any LA County services. If they choose, they will be entered to win one of $100 gift cards in our drawing after the survey closes in late July. The Non-Binary and Intersex Mental Health Survey is a project of LA County’s Department of Mental Health, and has Non-Binary & Intersex folx involved in the administration of the survey.
