Abstract
This study investigates the impact of gender identity policies on mental health and food insecurity outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals in the United States. Using data from the U.S. Census Household Pulse Survey (HPS) and the Movement Advancement Project, it evaluates the relationship between policy and health disparities for TGD populations. Results indicate that protective gender identity policies are significantly associated with decreased food insecurity among TGD individuals, but no statistically significant impact was found on mental health outcomes. These findings call for nuanced policy interventions and further research to address health disparities experienced by the TGD population.
