The state of Tennessee and several disability-related agencies and organizations are conducting an annual survey to gather information about the challenges, demographics, and priorities of disabled people, and those with disabled loved ones across Tennessee. The results of this survey will help identify policy areas that need attention and set our priorities for supporting people with disabilities over the next five years.
If you’re interested in having your voice heard and helping to direct the way disability rights, funding, and priorities over the next five years are targeted, please, please fill out this survey!
You do not need to be diagnosed with anything to fill out this out.
There will be a question about gender during some point in the survey that asks if you are a man, woman, transgender, or something not listed. Unfortunately, this question can only have one answer selected. This question is currently waiting for approval to be changed to allow multiple selections and we do not know when that will happen.
If you would like your transness and your gender both recognized, please write in the space provided on the survey something like “trans woman” or similar as it applies to you. The state of Tennessee has a specific initiative to help close the healthcare disparity for LGBTQ+ people, and filling this out will help significantly in order for us to be able to prove that we still do need help and to fund further efforts to close that inequity.
