7.1 Direct, indirect and subtle discrimination
Discrimination may take many different forms. It may happen in a direct way. It can happen when individuals or organizations exclude trans people from housing, employment or services, withhold benefits that are available to others, or impose extra burdens that are not imposed on others, without a legitimate reason.
Discrimination may also happen indirectly. It may be carried out through another person or organization.
