The 2011 TgR Survey
After a month or so of review and beta testing the 2011 TgR Survey went live today
Every TgR member should have received a personal invitation to participate in the survey.
This survey marks a very important stage in the development of TgR.
And a big first for the gender diverse community down-under.Our large active membership now makes it possible to take a snapshot of the gender diverse population in Australia and New Zealand.
The importance of this survey in both validating our individual journeys, and also informing society at large should not be underestimated!The specific aims of the survey are to better understand the diversity of our gender diverse community , increase awareness of our community’s needs, and identify significant issues of concern.
But for the survey to be of value we do need everyone to share their views and experiences.
And that means hearing from YOU!
The survey is strictly anonymous, with randomised keys being offered only to the 700+ validated members of TgR. We cannot match your survey responses with your TgR profile.
So look out for your personalised invitation to participate.
And be part of this significant event!
If you have any questions try looking at the FAQ post in this forum.
If that doesn’t help then email amanda@tgr.net.au with your question.I also want to take this opportunity to formally thank the many members who have assisted in the development of this survey, through suggestions in the forums, reviewing questions, and testing the actual survey.

After three weeks we have reached a fantastic 50% response rate on the survey.
A big thank you to everyone who has participated making this probably the largest survey ever made of gender diverse Australia and New Zealand.
The survey will be closing next Sunday evening… that is November 6th.
So if you have missed out so far on adding your views and experiences to this great snapshot of our community, then please don’t delay any longer.

You are warmly invited to attend the launch of a major report into the Gender Diverse community in Australia.
TransGender Radio (TgR) is the largest active transgender group in the southern hemisphere. Since its launch on-line in 1997 it has steadly grown, both in numbers and also in the scope of its activities.
These activities include the annual TransFormal weekend held in Katoomba in May.In November last year we conducted a comprehensive survey of our membership and received over 400 responses. This was possibly the largest survey of gender diversity that has ever been conducted in Australia. And the results provide an interesting snap-shot of the aspirations, problems, health, and life style of the gender diverse.
We asked our members about:
Their true gender identity
How they express it in their life
How they became aware they were gender diverse, and who else knows
Gender diversity in their family
Medicine or surgery they have used to address their gender diversity
Their opinions and views about the gender diverse community
Their relationship with their GP
Any negative experiences in the last year as a result of being gender diverse
Their dreams for the futureThe responses we received are valuable because:
The relatively large number of responses (423)
The survey population had previously been screened to ensure they were gender diverse.
The survey was anonymous and voluntaryWe were surprised by many of the answers we received.
And we invite you to share this illuminating insight into our community
The survey report Transgender Australia 2011 will be presented on Saturday 19th May.
in The Library, The Carrington Hotel, Katoomba, NSW at 10:30 amFor a map of this location go here:
