According to the Colorado findings of the National Transgender Discrimination Study, transgender Coloradans still face serious obstacles in the form of discrimination that affects nearly every aspect of their lives, from workplace discrimination to unemployment to homelessness to health care inequalities.

On October 22, and the Gender Identity Center of Colorado released the state's breakout data. This data was drawn from the comprehensive 2011 national study, "Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey," compiled by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which collected data from transgender and gender-non-conforming people around the country.
