Transgender identity intersects with other aspects of LGBTQ culture in complex and multifaceted ways. For example, transgender individuals are more likely to experience poverty, homelessness, and violence than their cisgender (non-transgender) counterparts. This is particularly true for transgender people of color, who face both racism and transphobia. The intersection of transgender identity with other aspects of LGBTQ culture, such as lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities, can also create unique challenges and opportunities.
