Study finds transgender people three times as likely to face food insufficiency during pandemic
“A quarter of transgender adults in the U.S. are likely to face food insufficiency, according to a report by the Williams Institute – a rate three times higher than cisgender people.
Using data from the Census Bureau’s latest Household Pulse Survey, which collected responses between June and October, researchers found 25 percent of transgender people experienced food insufficiency compared to just 8 percent of cisgender people.
Food insufficiency in the study was defined as sometimes or often not having enough to eat in the last 7 days.”
