Transgender Life
Until recently, society at large and popular culture have largely overlooked
transgender rights, and the transgender community has been underserved in terms
of resources, role models with extensive platforms, and visibility. Furthermore,
the transgender community has been especially vulnerable to physical assaults,
discrimination, hate crimes, and disproportionately high rates of depression and
suicide. This series highlights some of the important social, legal, and health
issues faced by the trans community to provide guidance and trusted
information for readers who may be trans or want to strengthen their role as an
ally to the transgender community.
