Looking for transgender/transsexual individuals (of any age) who are willing to fill out a questionnaire on the internet about your experiences with violence and discrimination, your social relationships, your substance use and use of hormones, as well as questions about your health and well-being. This study will select the first 45 female to male (FtM) transgender/transsexual individuals and 45 male to female (MtF) transgender/transsexual individuals.
