Trans people represent one of the most marginalized groups in our society. Numerous needs assessments and research studies published to date have consistently indicated the numerous and interlocking challenges that trans people experience in their dayto-day lives (Kenagy, 2005; Namaste, 2000; Sperber,Landers, & Lawrence, 2005; Taylor, 2006). Despite consistency of results, little attention has been focused on understanding how and why trans people come to experience marginalization in such pervasive ways.
