Transgender individuals, particularly transgender women of color, experience disproportionately high rates of violence, homelessness, and discrimination in employment and housing. Conclusion
To fully understand transgender integration into LGBTQ+ culture, one must distinguish between gender identity and sexual orientation. Sexual orientation concerns whom a person is attracted to (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual). Gender identity concerns a person’s internal, deeply felt sense of being male, female, a blend of both, or neither (e.g., transgender, non-binary, agender).
