Transgender people face many kinds of discrimination. Some are more obvious than others. The transgender community is four times as likely as the general population to have household incomes less than $10,000 per year, according to a report by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. It also is twice as likely to be unemployed. And transgender people face significant discrimination when seeking housing, which helps explain why they’re about twice as likely to be homeless as the general population. They also face discrimination on the web.
