  • Transgender people in Lithuania continue to face systemic discrimination in the labour market, including open ridicule, isolation and psychological abuse, according to experts who spoke at a parliamentary discussion marking the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
  • A recent national survey also found that only 22% of Lithuanians would feel comfortable working with a transgender colleague. That number drops to 19% when it comes to a transgender person in a leadership role, and even lower if such a person worked at their child’s school.

    Any idea why this is the case? I’m unfamiliar with Lithuania and the average mindset there. Has there been an anti-trans feeling for a long time or has there been a load of right wing or religious hate mongering?
