The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality teamed up to do a comprehensive study of discrimination against trans people.
Cathy Renna featured the story of one person involved in the study last week on Bilerico.
There has never been such a comprehensive study of trans people and their lives anywhere in the world. There were 6,450 study participants who answered a 70-question survey, available in both online and paper formats. This included a diverse set of people, from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, of different ages, races, ethnicities, trans identities, and income levels, among other things. It included employment, housing, public accommodations, bullying and violence, and many other areas of discrimination.
