Discrimination against transgender people is costing New York millions, according to a new report.

The study, released yesterday by the UCLA's Williams Institute, says that housing and employment discrimination cost the state millions of dollars as people lean on public assistance instead.

According to the study, workplace discrimination could cost the state about $7 million each year.

The converse is even more true-- we don't get paid, you have to pay through the nose!!
