Survey on Thoughts on Coming Out
The following came to us from the folks at My Transgender Date. They conducted a survey of their membership base about their coming out experience.
I’m Vince, Public Relations at My Transgender Date.
October 11th was the annual National Coming Out Day, so I thought you’d be interested in a study we did with our user base (trans women and trans-oriented men) about their coming out experience.
We discovered some interesting findings. This study can be used as reference for interesting articles that talk about the following:
- Trans women are 3 times more likely to come out than trans-oriented men
- The majority of trans women come out before age 30
- Many trans-oriented men don’t think that they need to come out
- Friends and mothers are favorite persons to come out to first
- 26% of trans women said they lost their job or a job opportunity as a result of coming out
- Only 6% of trans women declare regretting coming out
The article and whole study (methodology, numbers, charts) is available on the My Transgender Date website.
