A 2010 survey conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force collected the following findings: 50% of transgender or gender non-conforming individuals surveyed stated that their provider had very little or no knowledge of transgender care, 19% were refused care outright (including for conditions that did not relate to gender transition), and 28% reported experiencing harassment in a medical setting—with 2% reporting assault or some other act of violence perpetrated against them in a doctor's office.
