suicide, 59% avoid using public restrooms
The largest-ever survey of transgender Americans paints a grim picture of
pervasive discrimination and harassment, to the point that many of them
attempt suicide at some point.
Released on Thursday by the National Center for Transgender Equality, the
survey assesses input received in 2015 from 27,715 respondents from all 50
states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories. The largest
previous transgender survey, conducted by the center and a partner
organization in 2008-09, had 6,450 responses.
There have been some important gains for transgender rights in the years
between the two surveys, but the new survey showed little or no improvement
in terms of transgender people's day-to-day experiences with bias.
One finding remained virtually unchanged from the earlier survey: 40% of the
respondents said they had attempted suicide at some point. Researchers have
estimated that the overall attempted suicide rate in the U.S. is less than
5%.
Another notable finding: 59% of survey respondents said they avoided using a
public restroom in the past year because they were afraid of confrontations
or other problems. About one-third said they limited the amount that they
ate and drank to avoid using a restroom.
"Discrimination and violence threaten transgender people's ability to have
even the basics: food, a place to sleep, or a job," said Mara Keisling,
executive director of the national center. "This survey demonstrates that
there is a lot of work ahead to achieve simple parity and full equality for
transgender people."
According to a recent estimate by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School
of Law, there are about 1.4 million transgender adults in the United States.
In the year prior to completing the survey, 46% of the respondents reported
being verbally harassed and 9% said they were physically attacked because of
being transgender. Forty-seven percent said they had been sexually
assaulted at some point in their lifetime.
The abuse can start before adulthood. Of the respondents who were out or
perceived as transgender while in school, 24% said they were physically
attacked because they were transgender and 13% said they were sexually
assaulted. Seventeen percent said they left school because of severe
mistreatment.
The survey found significant economic disparities, with 29% of respondents
saying they lived in poverty — roughly double the percent of the overall U.
S. population. The unemployment rate among the respondents was 15%, three
times higher than the national rate at the time of survey was conducted.
Only 16% of the respondents said they owned their own home, compared to 63%
of adults nationally. And 30% of the respondents said they had experienced
homelessness at some point.
According to the survey, problems of discrimination were particularly high
for transgender people of color, those with disabilities, and those living
in the U.S. without legal documentation.
More than one-third of the survey respondents identified themselves as "non-
binary" — a term used to describe people whose gender identity is not
exclusively male or female.
Karen Parker, director of the Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office at
the National Institutes of Health, hailed the survey as "an unprecedented
and comprehensive insight into the experiences of transgender people."
In an email, she also said the survey's detailed findings on health care
could potentially help ease the barriers that sometimes deter transgender
people from obtaining appropriate care. Nearly one-quarter of the
respondents to the survey said they did not see a doctor when they needed to
because of fear of being mistreated.
The report's release comes at a time of uncertainty for transgender
Americans. President Obama's administration has taken many steps to expand
transgender rights — including some workplace protections and a directive
advising public schools to let transgender students use restrooms and locker
rooms based on their gender identity. Transgender activists fear that some
of those initiatives might be slowed or reversed after President-elect
Donald Trump takes office.
They also are concerned by possible developments at the state level — such
as a proposed bill in Texas that would limit transgender people's bathroom
access. The Texas proposal is similar to legislation enacted in North
Carolina in March that triggered an extensive economic and political
backlash.

singled out，也是歧视的一种。

发帖数: 4911 | 18 提供变性人专门的洗手间是一个很合理的事情，日本就有过女性专门车厢。如果你觉得
专门洗手间是singled out,是歧视，那么我的解释如下
1。变性人是自己选择变性的，那么他们是不是应该为自己是变性人而自豪？那么，他
们凭什么怕被人singled out?难道他们怕被人知道是变性人么？如果自己对自己是变性
人都羞愧万分的话，是不是说他们自己就觉得变性不对？他们自己都觉得不对了，凭什
么还要大家一起去接受这个不对的事情？于是乎，如果他们觉得自己变性是对的，就不
该怕被人发现时变性人，如果他们觉得自己变性是错的，也没必要拉着大家一起拥抱一
个错误。不管怎么样，变成啥样就该去啥厕所。你怕去公共厕所，就可以单独设立一个
给你。你如果连单独设立的都怕，那是你自己的问题。
2. 变性人选择变性是他们的自由。人们排斥不完全变性人共用厕所（比如只变上半身
，或心理认同为另一个性别），也是人们的自由。难道为了变性人的自由就要妨碍别人
的自由？如果有一天，一个人喜欢吃屎，是不是要大家一起吃，桌上摆一盘屎呢？大家
如果不想和他一起吃，就是singled out,就是歧视？如果你觉得这个粗俗，那我换一个
例子，一个人喜欢吃榴莲，大家都知道这是好东西，可是就是受不了这个味道，难道你
吃的时候强行要求大家都聚在一起闻榴莲的味道？你就不能单独到一边自己吃？
3。歧视的本质，是在判断某件事情时，对不影响这个事情的个人背景惊醒区别对待。
核心就是对这件事情是毫无影响的。好比一个工作是否胜任，和肤色无关。那么用肤色
作为判定因素，就是歧视。而上个厕所，本身就和性别有关。男女厕所分开本身就是
singled out. 性别对于上厕所而言，是影响的，所以对厕所的设置而言，是需要考虑
性别的。左逼最邪恶的就是他们反对用肤色人种性别来不公正的打压一帮人的同时，支
持用肤色人种性别来不公正的扶持同一帮人。这也就是为什么左逼才是真正的种族歧视
者。因为他们默认，肤色人种性别是对工作教育等等有影响的。因为今天，他们需要你
的选票，就会用肤色人种性别来扶持你。有朝一日，如果左逼拥有绝对权力，他们可以
随时利用肤色人种性别来打压你。奥巴马是黑人，可是8年来，黑人的工资却相对比白
人还要低，特别是黑人女性，更是相对地显著降低。为什么？因为他只愿意作顺水人情
，打打黑命贵的嘴炮。而真正需要他去争取的黑人权益，他却不会去做。希拉里就更别
说了，其观点立场一直在变。这就是左逼，本质上真正的歧视者，他们不会会为了被他
们歧视的人去做多少实质的事情。觉得单独设立变性人洗手间是singled out, 是歧视
的本质，就是他们不愿意花精力去给变性人一个选择的机会。因为单独设立变性人洗手
间之后，变性人可以选择去公共或单独设立的洗手间，单独设立之后，公共洗手间他们
依然可以去，只是他们如果变性不彻底，就不能去另一个性别的洗手间。
