Transgender Murders In El Salvador Leave Community In Fear
Three transgender people were killed in San Juan Talpa in February alone, police say, spreading fear through members of El Salvador’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community.
The spate of murders puts a spotlight on the violence El Salvador’s LGBT community faces, a problem rights activists blame on powerful street gangs and entrenched social prejudices.
Until recently, the LGBT community in San Luis Talpa, a town surrounded by fertile green hills an hour’s drive from the capital San Salvador, had a softball team that used to play near the beach. But they have since stopped in fear they could be next in the firing line.

LGBT
Policy Spotlight: Identity Documents Laws and Policies examines the
state laws and policies that govern the processes by which people who
are transgender are able to correct the name and gender marker on their
identity documents so that those documents match the gender the person
lives every day. The brief includes common sense policy recommendations
to help ensure transgender people can access accurate identity
documents.

NEW REPORT: Mapping Transgender Equality in the United States finds hostile laws and lack of #LGBT protections in the majority of states leave transgender people at risk. Despite recent gains, we are still far from achieving full legal equality, especially for transgender people. #LGBTmaps

“On the surface, the argument is about bathrooms, but at a deeper level, it is about whether or not transgender students will be included in our public education system.”
- Ineke Mushovic, the executive director of MAP
NEW REPORT! This isn’t just about bathrooms, it’s about whether transgender students will be included in our public education system. Put simply, if trans kids cannot safely access a bathroom, they cannot safely attend school.
MAP & @glsen have launched a new report: Separation and Stigma: Transgender Youth & School Facilities looking at the harmful and unnecessary policies that exclude transgender students from accessing appropriate school facilities.
Thanks to National Center for Transgender Equality and NEA Today for their partnership on this report.
Dear Secretary Betsy DeVos,
If you are truly committed to creating safe learning environments for students, then that should mean all students, including transgender students. We urge you to read our report, Separation and Stigma: Transgender Students & School Facilities, which outlines the profound harms of exclusionary policies on transgender children—harms that can be addressed with your direction.
Signed,
