Transgender

Transgender people come from all walks of life, and HRC Foundation has estimated that there are more than 2 million of us across the United States. We are parents, siblings, and kids. We are your coworkers, your neighbors, and your friends.

For an overview of issues affecting transgender and non-binary people, you may read our resource Understanding the Transgender Community.
