"TWO out of every three transgender resident have endured some kind of hate from bigots, a new report has revealed.

The offence is the least reported type of hate crime in Greater Manchester, the Transphobic Hate Crime Report produced for Greater Manchester Police says.

Research for the report - released during Hate Crime Awareness Week - showed 67 per cent of transgender people had suffered abuse and 70 per cent had been verbally abused because of who they are. "
