Scottish Trans and Non-binary Experiences Report
A report on the experience of 571 trans and non-binary people in Scotland with different public services, their neighbourhoods, housing and homelessness, work, benefits and the cost of living. Published July 2024.
In 2023 we ran a survey asking trans and non-binary people living in Scotland about their experiences across a range of public services, with housing and homelessness, and on work, benefits and the cost of living.
Based on responses from the 571 people who filled out the survey, we’ve produced this report breaking down what life is like for trans and non-binary people in Scotland at the moment. While much of what we found confirms what we’ve been hearing from the community over the past few years, it’s really important to have this data so we can use it to make Scotland a better place for everyone.
In each section we’ve included a range of recommendations for different service providers and public bodies based on what we heard from respondents, as well as a range of commitments that we will be taking forward. These include creating resources for trans and non-binary people on how to advocate for yourself at your GP, and a mini-report focusing on the specific experiences of disabled trans and non-binary people.
