The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) released a comprehensive new report, “Injustice at Every Turn,” revealing the depth of discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people in a wide range of areas, including education, health care, employment, and housing. The study, based on the results from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), was based on responses from over 6,450 participants. The NTDS is the first large-scale national study of discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming Americans, and paints a more complete picture than any prior research to date. The National Transgender Discrimination Survey report details the ways in which transgender people face pervasive discrimination.

Pledge to end transgender discrimination
Greetings,
I pledge to do my part to make my community safe and welcoming for transgender and gender non-conforming people. Whether at work or school, in my family, or among friends, I pledge to respect the identity of transgender people, knowing that they are being true to who they are. I will let them know with both my words and my actions that I am supportive. I will speak up when I see others disrespecting anyone’s gender expression. I will do my part to support laws and policies that ensure that transgender and gender non-conforming people, of all races, ages and classes, are treated fairly. I will work for a world in which everyone is free to be who they are and can lead fulfilling lives, without having to overcome discrimination.
