A national sample of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals reported high levels of concern about violence and discrimination related to the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in a new study. The majority of study participants had been directly exposed to hate speech and violence, and many expressed concerns that the election may have emboldened and legitimized these acts, according to an article published in Violence and Gender, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article, which is part of a special section on Transgender Violence is available free on the Violence and Gender website.
