WHO WE ARE: TRANS PEOPLE AND STEPS TO INCLUSION

inclusion in your business, school, or organization. Participants walk away
with a solid understanding of trans individuals and the skills to support the
trans people they encounter.
STRATEGIES FOR OUR FUTURE
NCTE provides engaging commentary on the history of the trans movement, where it is going, and how it should get there, providing unique insight into the process of changing policies and society to embrace trans people .
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL POLICY
As the leading transgender voice in our nation’s capital, NCTE works closely with federal, state and local policymakers, the White House, and federal agencies. NCTE delivers insider updates on issue areas including healthcare, employment, housing, schools, criminal justice, racial
and economic justice, and more.
RESULTS OF THE 2015 U.S. TRANSGENDER SURVEY
NCTE completed
the largest survey of trans people ever done. The U.S. Transgender Survey’s
ground-breaking data enables us to quantify, compare and discuss the
discrimination and violence trans people face.
STORYTELLING FOR CHANGE: TRANS VOICES AND EXPERIENCES
One of the best ways to encourage the public to accept trans people is to familiarize them with the lives and stories of trans individuals. At NCTE, our education and outreach programs teach storytelling to trans people, families of trans people, allies, and those who hope to become allies. Our storytelling trainings help bring the diverse stories of many trans people to life.
CREATING A TRANS-INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE
NCTE offers
both training and policy review to prepare businesses to treat trans employees
with respect and fairness. NCTE helps businesses develop best business
practices as employers and human resource officers, including inclusive
health care and training for employees.
