Discrimination against trans* people, often also referred to as transphobia, is the irrational (and partly violent) rejection of trans* people due to their gender identity.

Hostile behaviour against trans* people is expressed by discrimination and harassment. An EU-wide survey by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) in 2019 showed, that 66% of the German interviewees stated experienced discrimination due to them being trans* within the last 12 months. The European average was at 60%.

The dossier gives an insight into discrimination against trans* people in the area of employment, access to goods and services, education sector and the use of sanitary facilities and dressing rooms.
