A recent study reveals that 80 per cent of transgender respondents have experienced some form of abuse from a partner or ex-partner.

The findings were released by the LGBT Domestic Abuse Project and the Scottish Transgender Alliance, who conducted the research.

Figures show that nearly half of respondents – 45 per cent – had experienced physical abuse from a partner or ex-partner. 47 per cent said they had experienced sexual abuse from a partner or ex-partner.
