National Transgender Discrimination Survey: Full Report

http://transequality.org/issues/resources/national-transgender-discrimination-survey-full-report

Transequality/September 11, 2012

This was the first survey done, there is still time to do the new one ( one more week)

"Every day, transgender and gender non-conforming people bear the brunt of social and economic marginalization due to discrimination based on their gender identity or expression. Advocates confront this reality regularly working with transgender people who have lost housing, been fired from jobs, experienced mistreatment and violence, or been unable to access the health care they need. Too often, policymakers, service providers, the media and society at large have dismissed or discounted the needs of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and a lack of hard data on the scope of anti-transgender discrimination has hampered the work to make substantive policy changes to address these needs."
