If you want your personal experiences as a trans person reported back to the European Union the results must be in by October 31st 2007 .
If you are Trans identified in anyway, then this survey is for you. It is for all ages and it is fully inclusive of all types of trans identity from cross dresser through to Transsexual as well as agender and polygender.
This survey is only for those people living (or recently living) in any of the European states.
The results of the project will inform the European Union and many other public authorities in Europe and help them develop new ways of promoting equality. The four main objectives of this survey are:
1. The extent and types of inequality and discrimination people experience because they are Trans
2. The areas of life where trans people have experienced being treated unequally or have been discriminated against
3. To establish the 'trigger points' which have led to a trans person experiencing inequalities or discrimination
4. To make recommendations for immediate work practices and future research in the area.
The survey will take you around 35 minutes and it will be completely confidential.
We have tried to be comprehensive for the purposes of the research, but please remember that this survey is going out in 13 languages, and that has made it difficult to get all the correct terms you might understand and also to the number of questions we dare ask you.
PLEASE ask ALL of your TRANS friends, including part-time cross dressers, transgender, transsexual, a-gendered and poly gendered people and anyone in-between to complete this questionnaire. In fact, why not have a party night, bring in all the computers and laptops you can borrow and amidst the tapping of keys enjoy your evening with good friends.
BUT each person must only complete it ONCE.
