The Bottom Line

As part of ongoing efforts to protect transgender people from discrimination, there is growing momentum to ensure that transgender students have a fair chance at educational success. Many transgender students still encounter discrimination and mistreatment in schools—from bullying by their peers, to school officials who try to force them to use school facilities that do not match the gender they live every day.

This guide provides high-level messaging to help build support for policies and laws that protect transgender students and their ability to access school facilities that match their gender identity.
