社会上普遍存在着对变性人的歧视和偏见。经济歧视和遭受暴力都可能是一种更大的社会氛围的结果，这种社会氛围严厉制裁那些不符合社会性别规范的人；因此，两者将彼此紧密联系在一起。调查问卷通过活动或志愿者的方式分发给人们，并在万维网上公布。在12个月内（1996年4月至1997年4月）收集了402例样本。我们发现，在这个样本中，超过一半的人在一生中经历过某种形式的骚扰或暴力，四分之一的人经历过暴力事件。进一步的调查发现，因为变性而遭受经济歧视的人与经历变性相关的暴力事件有着最强烈的联系。经济歧视与跨性别者的暴力经历有关。因此，跨性别者既需要仇恨犯罪立法，也需要就业保护。(C) 2001年，霍沃斯出版社出版。版权所有。
There is a pervasive pattern of discrimination and prejudice against transgendered people within society. Both economic discrimination and experiencing violence could be the result of a larger social climate that severely sanctions people for not conforming to society's norms concerning gender; as such, both would be strongly associated with each other. Questionnaires were distributed to people either through events or through volunteers, and made available upon the World Wide Web. A sample of 402 cases was collected over the span of 12 months (April 1996-April 1997). We found that over half the people within this sample experienced some form of harassment or violence within their lifetime, with a quarter experiencing a violent incident. Further investigation found that experiencing economic discrimination because one is transgendered had the strongest association with experiencing a transgender related violent incident. Economic discrimination was related to transgendered people's experience with violence. Therefore, both hate crimes legislation and employment protections are needed for transgendered individuals.
