This past February, "Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey" revealed a lot of information about the struggles of our Trans family.
Well, some updated info states that Black transgender people gets the worst discrimination of all LGBT groups:
Black transgender people had an extremely high unemployment rate at 26%, two times the rate of the overall transgender sample and four times the rate of the general population.source
"A startling 41% of black respondents said they had experienced homelessness at some point in their lives, more than five times the rate of the general U.S. population.
"Black transgender people lived in extreme poverty with 34% reporting a household income of less than $10,000 per year. This is more than twice the rate for transgender people of all races (15%), four times the general black population rate (9%), and eight times the general U.S. population rate (4%).
"Black transgender people were affected by HIV in devastating numbers. More than one-fifth of respondents were living with HIV (20.23%), compared to a rate of 2.64% for transgender respondents of all races, 2.4% for the general Black population, and 0.60% of the general U.S. population."
