Los Angeles, CA – The TransLatin@ Coalition is thrilled to announce the release of the comprehensive study, "From Surviving to Thriving: A Quality of Life Study with Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (TGI) Adults in the City of Los Angeles."

The study was authored by a dedicated team of experts and advocates, including Principal Investigators Miguel Fuentes, Ph.D, Bamby Salcedo, M.A., Queen Victoria Ortega, and Kerith Conron, Sc.D. Their combined knowledge and dedication have created an essential resource for understanding the experiences and needs of TGI individuals in the City of Angels.
