The National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS) measured transgender experiences of discrimination. The survey results showed that transgender people faced bias that affects all areas of life. However, one of the most important findings was that the combination of anti-transgender bias with structural and individual racism meant that transgender people of color experience particularly devastating levels of discrimination. Among them, Black transgender people often reported the highest levels of discrimination.

Key Findings:

* 34% of the Black Transgender community reported a household income of less than $10,000/year.
* 21% of Black transgender people reported being refused medical care due to bias
* 41% of Black respondents said that they had experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. Of those who had experienced homelessness, many tried to access shelters but were denied access altogether (40%) or experienced harassment (61%), physical assault (32%), or sexual assault (31%) at the shelter.

Being transgender is difficult, but being transgender (or female, poor etc.) + being black makes it even that much harder.
