Transgender Italy (2023-2024)

The Transgender Italy dataset was produced as part of an Italian Master's thesis project entitled "Transgender: a quantitative look at discrimination, gender affirmation, and life satisfaction". The project had a twofold objective: on the one hand, to provide a quantitative description of the experiences of Italian transgender people in terms of discrimination, gender affirmation path and self-determination; on the other hand, to study the effect of the gender affirmation path on transgender people's satisfaction, taking into account the dimension of self-determination and the heterogeneity of experiences.<br>
<br>
The dataset includes data collected through an online questionnaire administered to 132 Italian transgender adults. Given the characteristics of the target population, sampling is not probabilistic.<br>
<br>
The questions are divided into four sections:<br>

- demographic information: age, place of residence, education, employment status and economic condition;<br>
- discrimination experienced as a transgender person: in general terms and in seven specific areas of social life;<br>
- path to gender affirmation;<br>
- quality of social relations and the attachment to the transgender community.<br>
