Abstract

Social equity is important in how public services are provided. In new research, using survey data Adam M. Butz and Tia Sherèe Gaynor examine how transgender women of color engage with US social welfare. They find that, compared to other groups, transgender women of color are more likely to avoid seeking welfare services and face discrimination within social welfare offices. Considering these findings, they argue that policymakers and social welfare administrators must pay closer attention to intersectionality and social equity.
