Challenges Faced by the Transgender Community
Discrimination and Violence
: Transgender individuals, particularly trans women of color, are disproportionately affected by violence, with high rates of homicide and suicide. Discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, and education remains pervasive.
- Listen to trans voices. Read trans authors, watch trans filmmakers, and follow trans activists on social media. Do not expect trans people to educate you for free.
- Normalize pronouns. Put your pronouns in your bio, on your email signature, and state them at meetings. This reduces the burden on trans people to out themselves.
- Defend public accommodations. Support laws that allow trans people to use the bathroom and locker room that aligns with their gender identity. Trans people are at far greater risk of violence in gendered spaces when forced to use the wrong one.
- Speak up in gay and lesbian spaces. If you hear a gay friend dismiss trans issues as "too complicated" or "a different movement," remind them of Stonewall. Remind them of Sylvia Rivera.
