A national report has found discrimination against transgender people is still widespread across institutions, including in healthcare, housing, education and employment. The report by the Australian Human Rights Commission makes 19 recommendations, including reforms across Australian states and territories to protect gender diverse people from vilification, incitement of hatred and threats of physical harm. The author of the report, Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody, spoke to Razanne Al-Abdeli about the findings, including identifying the barriers gender-diverse people experience in different institutional settings.
