Transgender: Survey for trans folks 45-64 years old - MetLife & American Society on Aging

Transgender News [Forwarded from Loree Cook-Daniels] Loree Cook-Daniels from the FORGE Trangender Aging Network here. A few years ago, MetLife and the LGBT Aging Issues Network of the American Society on Aging did a well-publicized survey of LGBT people age 45-64. Unfortunately, for a bunch of reasons, there were little to no trans respondents. They are redoing the survey and trying to do this one right, but we need more trans respondents -- NOW (by the end of the weekend).

Note that this survey is set up in a complicated way that redirects anyone who is not in the right age bracket and/or that doesn't indicate they're trans by noting they were assigned a different gender at birth. (So if you get a question about elected officials being out of touch, know you've been redirected.) Despite that, the questions were written for a mixed LGBT audience, so they're not all as trans-savvy as we would like. Please be gracious if you fall within the needed age range and answer anyway, because we'd like to: 1) have trans respondents; and 2) show other researchers that you CAN get trans respondents in a mixed LGBT survey, if you outreach.

Below is MetLife's description and the link. Thank you. Loree
