A recent nationwide survey of transgender identified people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality in conjunction with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force provided some very sobering statistics about the state of being transgender today.

It's hard to digest all these numbers no matter how they were presented, let alone the rapid-fire "live tweeting" from the Creating Change conference last week in Dallas that first introduced me to the survey. No matter how you look at the numbers, they're hardly flattering.
