Program areas at NCTE

General program, state, and federal policy: ncte's policy and programmatic work encourages the adoption and implementation of trans-inclusive policies and practices at every level of government. At the federal level, ncte works to protect the rights of Transgender people in all areas of life including access to healthcare, housing, and employment while ensuring Transgender people are treated with respect in school, prisons, by tsa, and in the military. Ncte works to change administrative policies regarding identity documents, fair treatment, and health care at the state level. These changes reduce discrimination by state governments, and increase access to accurate driver's license, birth certificate records, and gender-transition related health care. Ncte provides resources and non-legal support to trans people changing their name and/or gender on identity documents.
Outreach, public education/familiarization and family: ncte's education and programmatic work improves the lives of Transgender people and their families by working to increase public understanding and acceptance of trans people. Ncte empowers trans people and their families to share their stories to the media, policy-makers, and their community and mobilize to take action when their rights are attacked. This work is essential to build understanding of the discrimination that trans people and their families face. With this work, ncte hopes to educate the american public, changing their hearts and minds.
U.s. Transgender survey: the u.s. trans survey is the largest survey ever devoted to the lives and experiences of Transgender people. Ncte surveys Transgender people from all 50 states, the district of columbia, and several territories. The findings clearly demonstrate patterns of mistreatment and discrimination against trans people and provides a tool for public understanding as well as for advocates to educate their federal, state and local policymakers.
Grassroots lobbying: ncte educates people and their families on issues affecting trans people across the country. Ncte empowers and mobilizes Transgender people and our allies to be advocates for trans Equality empowering them to educate and influence legislators.
Direct lobbying: at the federal level, ncte advocates for legislation that guarantees Equality for Transgender people and against legislation that is discriminatory. In states and municipalities, ncte works to advance pro-equality laws while fighting against anti-trans legislation.
