Exclusive: largest data analysis of its kind counters Trump’s aggressive efforts to deny trans minors’ existence
More than 2.8 million people now identify as transgender in the US, including an estimated 724,000 youth, according to a new data analysis that is the largest of its kind to date.
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Williams Institute used federal surveys and data from state health agencies to identify the size and demographics of the trans population in each state.
The analysis, shared with the Guardian and released on Wednesday, documented thousands of trans youth living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The findings counter Donald Trump’s aggressive efforts to deny the existence of trans minors, as his administration removes references to trans people across federal agencies and widely erodes protections and programs for LGBTQ+ communities.
That’s a very tough situation. You’re right that you can’t do much without a BankID these days.
You can always get proper medical aid. Though as a non EU citizen you’ll have to pay full price for your visit and potential medication.
But you should be able to open a bank account despite not having a personnummer. Assuming you have a valid US Passport, it should be possible. You’ll have to visit a bank in person and bring your passport and explain why you need a bank account and how you intend to use it. Explaining that you are a student here and need to transfer forgein funds from your american bank in order to be able to pay for expenses should be a valid reason.
I was under the impression I needed a personnummer for the bank account? It’s worth a shot with my passport at least; being able to transfer funds here would save me so much headache and fear of the USD collapsing. Might make that my quest when I wake up find a bank nearby
