The transgender community experiences discrimination and intolerance because they do not conform to society’s expectations of binary gender. Discriminatory legislation enacted by at least one state in the U.S. restricted the local authority from providing health and economic protections by violating federal law. The transgender community is challenging the violations of civil rights’ laws and raising awareness of the inequities facing the population, and they are working to educate the public to foster tolerance and acceptance.
