About 44% of those surveyed said they had experienced serious psychological distress in the last 30 days, according to the U.S. Transgender Survey from the National Center for Transgender Equality, which was conducted in 2022 from October 19 through December 5.

Nearly a third had also been homeless at some point, a preliminary analysis of the survey’s findings released Wednesday revealed.

The survey, which says it is the largest of trans-identifying people in the country to date, polled 92,329 people who identify as transgender or non-binary, including more than 7,000 teens who were 16 and 17, although most of the questions did not include the minors.
