ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transgender discrimination

Okay, so you know how boys and girls look different, right? Well, imagine if someone feels like they are a boy but their body looks like a girl, or if someone feels like they are a girl but their body looks like a boy. That's what it means to be transgender.

But sometimes, people can be mean to transgender people just because they are different. They might not want to let them use the same bathroom, or they might call them mean names.

This is called transgender discrimination. It's not fair because everyone should be treated the same, no matter what they look like or how they feel inside. Everyone deserves respect and kindness, even if they are different from us.
