Despite the "pride" of the umbrella, the transgender community often faces steeper hurdles than their cisgender (LGB) peers.
The 1990s and 2000s saw a resurgence of trans activism, driven in part by the work of organizations such as the National Center for Transgender Equality (founded in 2003) and the Transgender Law Center (founded in 2002).
