AB  - Few studies exist that examine within-group differences of the transgender 
      population. This paper aims to assess differences in sociodemographic 
      characteristics and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among transgender men 
      (TM), transgender women (TW), and transgender gender nonconforming (TGNC) 
      individuals in the United States. Data were pooled from the 2014-2017 Behavioral 
      Risk Factor Surveillance System. Chi-square tests and weighted multivariable 
      logistic regression models investigated differences in HRQoL by gender identity 
      and separately identified predictors of HRQoL in these groups. Overall, TGNC 
      individuals self-reported worse general health than TW or TM. TW and TGNC 
      individuals who also identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) had higher 
      odds of reporting frequent mental distress compared to their heterosexual 
      counterparts. Race/ethnicity, education, and employment also emerged as 
      predictors of HRQoL. Findings support the need to disaggregate these 
      subpopulations of transgender individuals to address the unique needs of each 
      subgroup.
