This report focuses on the
daily life, working conditions, access to services, and legal frameworks for transgender female sex workers in
China. Transgender female sex workers face a broad array of discrimination in social and policy frameworks,
preventing this highly marginalized group's access to a wide spectrum of services and legal protections.
They experience amplified stigma due to both their gender identity and their profession. Isolated and often
humiliated when seeking public services, particularly in health care settings, has also led many to self-medicate
and engage in dangerous transitioning practices, including on self-administered hormone use |
