Transphobia can have consequences as severe as homophobia for the targeted person. Transgendered people are often targets of harassment[?], assault, and murder, ranging from random attacks to rescue workers[?] who discover a transgendered accident victim's birth gender[?] and withhold service until the person dies.
One noted victim of transphobia was Brandon Teena. Another was Gwen Araujo.
