2015 was an unprecedented year in the recognition of transgender rights in some high-income countries. However, as a new Series published in The Lancet reveals, public recognition has yet to translate to a concerted effort to support and improve the health of transgender people across the world.

The Series, launched on Monday 20th June at the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) 24th Biennial Scientific Symposium held this year in Amsterdam, was compiled with input of members of the transgender community and provides an assessment of the health of transgender people worldwide. While the study points to major gaps in our understanding of transgender health because of a failure to recognise gender diversity in public health efforts, the authors say there is enough information about this marginalised group to act now.

The article is from The Lancet which did a special on trans health a few days ago.

I'd sure like to read this on, but I don't have access. Dr Suporn is one of the authors.

I've been hoping it would turn up somewhere but no luck so far.

I read this one, and its appears to be a review of whats going on and nothing new. Perhaps a good introduction, and lots of references to other papers.
