If you are straight and went to college was it easy peasy? Well, it wasn’t for me either. I had to work forty or more hours and study as did most if not all my classmates. Oh, and has any President ever thanked you for being a male or female? Well, Sleepy, Creepy, Basement ‘Joe Biden made history this month as the first ever US president-elect to thank trans people in his victory speech. During his campaign, Biden promised to end legal discrimination against trans people, which had worsened under Donald Trump.

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. Comparable data for universities aren’t available, but one Australian study found trans high school students lacking support from teachers are almost four times more likely to drop out than students receiving support.’https://theconversation.com/supporting-trans-people-3-simple-things-teachers-and-researchers-can-do-149832?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The%20Weekend%20Conversation%20-%201815617650&utm_content=The%20Weekend%20Conversation%20-%201815617650+CID_a8e56f4c30afe8348cd15c5db4e7639d&utm_source=campaign_monitor&utm_term=Supporting%20trans%20people%203%20simple%20things%20teachers%20and%20researchers%20can%20do
