Abstract:

The movement for decriminalizing homosexual relations and the human rights of the LGBT community has gained momentum in the last decade.

This paper explored the Indian legislative framework dealing with transgender people. Furthermore, it extensively covered the landmark judgments delivered by the Indian judiciary on the subject matter and highlighted that these j

AbstractThere is a subset of transgender individuals, who after having undergone gender affirming surgeries want body contouring so that the overall body shape is congruent to the body image. Hormonal therapy can bring about a considerable change in the physical transformation. However, there is an increase in requests for specific body contouring procedures because of increased awareness in the society.There are significant differences between the skeletal as well as soft tissue characteristics of male and female body.

Abstract:

Fertility preservation (FP) is critical for those members of the transgender community who desire biological offspring in the future. As gender-affirming hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries (GASs) negatively affect future fertility potential, awareness amongst care providers and the transgender population regarding FP and family-building options is the need of the hour. As the first case of childbirth after transgender FP and GAS in India, this will be a beacon of hope for transgender family-building options in India.

Abstract Transgender is a term that refers to individuals who identify with a gender that is different from the sex assigned to them at birth.

Abstract:

The transgender community in India has historically been marginalised and discriminated against socially, economically, and politically. Many people view trans people as abnormal or deviant, and they frequently experience abuse and violence on both a physical and emotional level, including sexual assault. Many incidents go unreported due to fear of retribution or a lack of legal recognition. Education is often the primary barrier for transgender individuals, with many dropping out of school due to bullying and a lack of support.

Abstract:

The policing of boundaries of acceptable sexual identities and behaviour is a recurring theme in numerous marginalities. Gender (especially womanhood) is often instantiated socially through the harms to which members of that gender are subjected. For transgender people, the assumption that genitals define gender translates the ubiquitous misapprehension that genitals and sex are binary into an assumption that gender must also be binary. This circumscribes the potentiality of cultural intelligibility for trans gender identities, and may interfere with the ability of transgender people to select

Abstract:

In a previous article, I argued that assessment requirements for transgender hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are unethical and dehumanising. A recent response published by the Journal of Medical Ethics criticises this proposal. In this reply, I advance that their response misunderstood core parts of my argument and fails to provide independent support for assessment requirements. Though transition-related care may have similarities with cosmetic surgeries, this does not suffice to establish a need for assessments, and nor do the high rates of depression and anxiety justify assessments, espec

ABSTRACT Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) improves postoperative analgesia and significantly enhances the quality of recovery (QoR) after thoracic and breast surgeries. However, it is not known whether this block is beneficial in chest reassignment surgery in transgender patients. Regarding sexual reassignment surgeries, there is no data on appropriate and safe postoperative analgesia, especially in chest surgeries. ESPB may be an important part of postoperative analgesia application in such surgeries. Objectives: The objective is to determine whether ESPB could provide effective

Objective: To analyze the decisions of Brazilian courts of justice regarding the right to health of the transgender population. Methods: A total of 49 collegiate decisions issued by Brazilian courts of justice were analyzed, all of which concerned access to healthcare for transgender individuals. This study included collegiate decisions that had their full text published between 2013 and 2024. Results: The number of judicializations has grown exponentially in the last decade. Most of the cases deal with sex reassignment surgeries. The decisions have the profile of recognizing the right to heal

Abstract:

Abstract Genital-focused body image concerns or negative genital self-image are a common experience across the gender spectrum, including among cisgender and transgender populations. Such concerns can result in lower psychological and sexual well-being. In this article, it is proposed that the development of genital self-image concerns may be partly explained by the theoretical framework of cisgenderism. This theory proposes that there are only 2 genders—men and women—and these are dictated solely by the appearance of the genitals. Any deviation from these 2 categories can result in discrimina

Abstract The care of transgender individuals has gained increasing attention in health-care settings, encompassing a wide range of medical specialties. Anesthesia is vital in perioperative care for them despite challenges like health-care access disparities, stigma, and discrimination. As they undergo routine surgeries or specific gender-affirming surgeries, anesthesia providers must be cognizant of anatomical, physiological, and psychosocial considerations that may impact the perioperative experience. Anesthesia for transgender individuals requires gender identity assessment, understanding of

These have been shown to improve the mental health and wellbeing of those individuals who choose to access them.
