Transgender 101 for Victim Service Providers

1) discussing the diversity under the “transgender umbrella”

2) exploring social, medical, legal, and other options transgender people may pursue

3) stimulating thought about which components of a transgender person’s life might (or might not be) relevant to the roles crime victim professionals play, and

4) disseminating resources to support transgender crime victims and the professionals who serve them.
