Are Tennessee laws pushing transgender people to leave? Exodus puts state among top 10 in the US, survey says – By Frank Gluck (Nashville Tennessean) / Feb 8, 2024
A newly released survey of transgender people finds they are more satisfied with their lives after transitioning, but nearly half thought about moving out of their states because of laws passed targeting transgender people.
Tennessee, which outlawed gender-affirming care for minors last year, was among the top 10 states from which respondents moved because of such laws, the survey found.
The 2022 U.S. Transgender Survey Early Insights report, released on Wednesday, questioned more than 92,000 people from all 50 states, American territories and a variety of U.S. military bases overseas. Respondents were aged 16 and up.
