In a recent Washington Blade article titled "TransTech Social removing barriers to trans success", LGBT Tech is featured for its research highlighting the significant role of technology in empowering transgender individuals. The study found that 68% of transgender adults use the internet to find LGBTQ-friendly employment, compared to 38% of cisgender LGBTQ+ adults. Additionally, over 70% of all LGBTQ adults use the internet to access educational content. This underscores the importance of digital access and resources for the transgender community.
TransTech Social Enterprises, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer people, and allies with practical, career-ready skills, is actively working to remove barriers to success for transgender individuals. Through co-working and co-learning communities, TransTech provides training and support to help members thrive in the tech industry.
LGBT Tech's research and TransTech's initiatives align in their mission to promote economic empowerment and reduce instances of discrimination for transgender individuals, particularly in the tech sector. By focusing on education and employment opportunities, both organizations are contributing to a more inclusive and equitable digital landscape for the transgender community.
