1)Is it against the law to discriminate a t-girl in the UK?

3) Does transgendered people get stalked and followed and watched like freaks in the UK?

please tell me your experiences
Well in general I think we are treated just like any other member of society. It is illegal to discriminate against anyone on grounds of faith or sexuality. Most police forces have trained officer who deal with "hate crimes". I am out and about quite a lot in my female persona and the worst thing that has happened to me in 15 years is a few sniggers and the odd strange look.

I do human to human contact shopping where I interact with cashiers, pharmacist and tellers and have always been treated with respect (well nearly always, theres was one occasion when I felt uncomfortable shopping, but there was a reason and it was nothing to do with me).

I think you will find the the UK and Europe in general is very tolerant to the Trans community much more so that the US where it varies drastically depending on which County/State you are in.

Hope this helps
