Oh, and has any President ever thanked you for being a male or female?

Globally, trans people are confronted by discrimination and violence, and young trans people experience depression at four times the rate of their peers.
However, while many universities have support services for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students, trans students often lack tailored support.
