U.S. transgender people harassed in public restrooms: landmark survey
Reuters reports on a new study of US transgender people that shows that transgender are the victims in the bathroom conflict, not cis women and children.
The findings by the National Center for Transgender Equality on public restrooms counter the message of mainly conservative politicians and religious leaders that transgender people are the antagonists preying on others. It found that 12 percent of transgender people were verbally harassed in public restrooms within the previous year, 1 percent were physically attacked and 1 percent were sexually assaulted. Nine percent said someone denied them access to a bathroom.
