Wow, you have really shocked me on that one Gennee, I had no idea of the scale of the problem! I was shocked about a recent case of a gay man murdered in Scotland in a homophobic attack, but hundreds of cases of transgender murder is terrible.
I think that things are better in the UK as, on the whole, we are known as a tolerant society.However, discrimination still exists.My daughter was quite badly bullied at school( before she came out as lesbian) but she has moved onto college now which seems to be a more accepting environment with a gay community which is still fully integrated in college life.
I suppose the situation for transgender people is even more difficult, however.Have you experienced any attacks yourself?
