The Asia-Pacific region is home to a large number of trans people; individuals whose gender identity, and/or expression of their gender, differs from social norms related to their gender of birth. Across the region it can be speculated that there are possibly 9-9.5 million trans people, though existing research is scattered and small scale, and is largely limited to trans women. Asia-Pacific research, again scattered and small-scale, indicates alarming numbers of trans women are HIV positive, with prevalence rates as high as 49 percent. |
