Injustice at every turn: A look at Asian American, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey

The National Transgender Discrimination Survey [NTDS] examined 6,456 transgender and gender non-conforming people’s experiences of discrimination in the U.S. The survey results demonstrate that transgender and gender nonconforming people face unrelenting discrimination in virtually all aspects of their lives.

One of the most important findings was that the combination of anti-transgender bias with structural and interpersonal racism meant that transgender and gender non-conforming people of color, including those who are Asian American, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander [API], experience particularly devastating levels of discrimination. In response, the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance [NQAPIA] has partnered with the National Center for
Transgender Equality [NCTE] and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to offer this report on discrimination against API transgender and gender non-conforming people.
