00:00:00.543 --> 00:00:05.053
(upbeat music)

00:00:05.053 --> 00:00:06.516
- True or false.

00:00:06.516 --> 00:00:09.421
The NCAA allows transgender
women to participate in

00:00:09.421 --> 00:00:12.591
college sports as long as they
have been taking medication

00:00:12.591 --> 00:00:15.313
that suppresses testosterone
for at least one year.

00:00:15.313 --> 00:00:18.036
(upbeat music)

00:00:18.036 --> 00:00:19.864
The answer is true.

00:00:19.864 --> 00:00:22.506
The whole point of hormone therapy is

00:00:22.506 --> 00:00:25.777
to help trans people match
their bodies with their mind.

00:00:25.777 --> 00:00:28.134
So, if you're reducing
testosterone, your body

00:00:28.134 --> 00:00:30.856
goes through the transition,
as well as your mind.

00:00:30.856 --> 00:00:32.177
- True or false.

00:00:32.177 --> 00:00:34.684
Federal law explicitly
bans discrimination against

00:00:34.684 --> 00:00:37.500
transgender people in
housing and employment.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.329
(upbeat music)

00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:40.873
This one's false.

00:00:40.873 --> 00:00:43.209
Though federal courts
do not specifically ban

00:00:43.209 --> 00:00:45.546
this type of discrimination,
some courts are

00:00:45.546 --> 00:00:48.654
interpreting discrimination
on the basis of sex

00:00:48.654 --> 00:00:51.458
to include discrimination on
the basis of gender identity.

00:00:51.458 --> 00:00:52.799
- True or false.

00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.050
Legally changing your gender
invalidates your marriage.

00:00:56.050 --> 00:00:58.386
(upbeat music)

00:00:58.386 --> 00:01:00.113
The answer is false.

00:01:00.113 --> 00:01:03.262
Changing your gender does
not invalidate your marriage.

00:01:03.262 --> 00:01:06.107
The only way that it is
invalid is if you have

00:01:06.107 --> 00:01:07.935
an annulment or a divorce.

00:01:07.935 --> 00:01:09.886
Just because you choose
to change your expression

00:01:09.886 --> 00:01:11.654
of gender, doesn't mean
you have to change your

00:01:11.654 --> 00:01:12.995
love for one another.

00:01:12.995 --> 00:01:14.031
- True or false.

00:01:14.031 --> 00:01:18.318
A 2011 survey of 6,500
transgender and gender

00:01:18.318 --> 00:01:21.902
nonconforming people found that 50%

00:01:21.902 --> 00:01:24.454
experienced harassment by a co-worker.

00:01:24.454 --> 00:01:26.648
(upbeat music)

00:01:26.648 --> 00:01:28.375
That one's actually true.

00:01:28.375 --> 00:01:30.874
When my birth name got out on my last job

00:01:30.874 --> 00:01:32.723
I definitely heard about it.

00:01:32.723 --> 00:01:33.779
True or false.

00:01:33.779 --> 00:01:35.872
The North Carolina
bathroom policies are based

00:01:35.872 --> 00:01:39.001
on previously reported
incidents of criminals

00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:41.845
posing as transgender
and benefiting from laws

00:01:41.845 --> 00:01:45.259
allowing transgender people to
use their bathroom of choice.

00:01:45.259 --> 00:01:47.473
(upbeat music)

00:01:47.473 --> 00:01:48.875
This one's false.

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:50.968
There have not yet been
any confirmed cases

00:01:50.968 --> 00:01:52.532
of criminals attempting this.

00:01:52.532 --> 00:01:54.183
Even though many states and schools

00:01:54.183 --> 00:01:56.473
already have trans-friendly policies.

00:01:56.473 --> 00:01:58.119
I'm not sure if Pat McCrory's done his

00:01:58.119 --> 00:01:59.521
research on that one.

00:01:59.521 --> 00:02:00.720
- True or false.

00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:03.483
Over 200 cities and counties
have banned discrimination

00:02:03.483 --> 00:02:05.454
based on gender identity.

00:02:05.454 --> 00:02:07.323
(upbeat music)

00:02:07.323 --> 00:02:08.867
I never thought I would
be able to say this

00:02:08.867 --> 00:02:11.468
in my lifetime, but the answer is true.

00:02:11.468 --> 00:02:13.845
Thanks to all of the allies
and people working hard

00:02:13.845 --> 00:02:17.380
to change history, and to
make it safe for everyone.

00:02:17.380 --> 00:02:19.331
We have been able to achieve this

00:02:19.331 --> 00:02:20.834
in 200 cities and counties.

00:02:20.834 --> 00:02:23.353
However, that's only 1% of the country.

00:02:23.353 --> 00:02:24.593
We still have work to do

00:02:24.593 --> 00:02:26.970
and we hope you stick
around to do it with us.

00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:30.088
