URGENTProgress on trans equality in the UK is under threat.
Misinformation continues to spread, so we wanted to share some stats to show what life is like for trans people right now. Please read & share
There are lots of trans people who are accepted and embraced by their family, friends and at school or work. Which is wonderful and this needs to be the norm for every trans person. But sadly, we know that’s not the case.
Abuse and discrimination is a near daily experience for many trans people. Two in five trans people (41%) have experienced a hate crime in the last year, and two-thirds of trans young people (64%) are bullied in school just for being who they are.
Research also shows that one in five trans people (19%) have faced domestic abuse from a partner and a quarter (25%) have experienced homelessness. Trans people need services to support them when these awful things happen. https://www.stonewall.org.uk/lgbt-britain-trans-report
