Transition is the ultimate goal for many trans individuals. It is their path toward a better life of self-fulfillment. But transition comes with a risk. Transphobia, which is term used to describe intentional discrimination and violence against trans people, is the steepest risk we know. It can come in many forms, from simple misgendering to murder. As society and the law continue to adapt to the ever growing visibility of trans* people, it is becoming all the more necessary to address transphobia and the many viscious results that come of it.
