Sexism and gender discrimination


Sexism and gender discrimination is discrimination toward or against a person of a certain group based upon that person's sex or gender. In the same instance, that person would not have been discriminated against if the person had been of another sex or gender. Sexual discrimination is illegal and a form of prejudice. Transgender individuals experience discrimination which may lead to dismissals, underachievement, and difficulty in finding a job, social isolation, bullying and physical and verbal attacks.
