DG Justice and Consumers commissioned and supervised this study focused on the position and experiences of trans people in education, employment and later life, as well as their interactions with Legal Gender Recognition (LGR) procedures and their experiences of coming out. It also considered the impact of discrimination that trans individuals can face throughout their lifetime. The study had two key objectives: 1) providing an overview of the situation of transgender people in the EU and 2) understanding whether there is a positive correlation between inclusive policies allowing for Legal Gender Recognition (LGR) and the well-being of transgender people.
