Oh this is incredibly helpful to read. I will def be considering assigning this and the rest of the series in my Trans Studies class this fall (if that is ok with you!!) also I’m fascinated, in the regional location of trans people chart, that there appear to be more trans adults than trans youth in the Midwest and West/Pacific, whereas in the Northeast and South it’s the opposite (more trans kids than adults)? I know it’s not the main point but I wonder why that is. Also, could you tell me where you got the data for the racial breakdown of trans people by region? I’m curious if the original has the “Other” category broken down (ofc I’m curious about the regional impacts on Native trans ppl) but I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t. Thank you for doing this work!!!

hello, thank you for your work. I'm confused with your interpretation/explanation of the All Regions - All Policies Scores graph, specially where you write, "[...] and the South, whose GI score has never been higher than 0, by an astounding 13.84 points (nearly 800%)." How did you arrive at 800% and the other change percentages, as well? /gen
