A question for those who have read the entire study (I've only seen the Executive Summary... their servers were always clogged when I've tried to get the whole enchilada) does the study in any way break down discrimination differences between trans men, trans women and those who ID as gender variant? In my anecdotal experience, I've observed trans women tend to get far more job discrimination than trans men do, but I'm interested to know what the study's numbers say about that. I'd also like to know how the study breaks down numbers between white trans people and those from communities of color? I've seen some mention of that in the summary but was wondering how specific it gets? These seem important to me because, just as trans people usually get rendered invisible in generalized statistics about the 'LGBTQ community' I believe speaking generally about the trans community without focusing on the racial/gender/economic specifics within that complex community would water down some of the conclusions and where special focus needs to be applied. Like saying "there's a high murder rate in the trans community" when what really needs to be said is: "young trans women of color are murdered at an horrifically high rate... why is it happening to that very specific group?"
