| Broockman and Kalla introduce the importance of this study is to increase awareness towards transphobia and reduce hate crimes or discrimination against transgenders. They share multiple reasons of why this is important, starting with public health
| | The |
| | |
| * Reducing transphobia is a public health priority because those who identify as transgender are 25 times at greater risk of abuse, assault, and suicide. This is due to prejudice and preformed traditional opinions, leading to transgenders receiving inhumane treatment and being dismissed.
| |
| | |
| * Reducing transphobia is also a public safety concern, as many portray transgender women as perverts and harmful for using the women's bathroom rather than their assigned sex bathroom.

| Raising awareness and enhancing individual's perspectives help nondiscrimination laws become implemented and supported more efficiently, while also reducing prejudice opinions.
