We've written a lot about the importance of ensuring access to health services for trans folk, and of the discrimination they often face when trying to access said services. And a few weeks ago, a new study by youth advocate Neha Sood was released on the health hurdles transgender women and men, and gender non-conforming people, face in Asia.

Given the information presented in that report, it seems as good a time as any to ask ourselves, as feminists, as trans and cis gender people, as gender non-conforming people, as SRRH advocates, and as allies in a movement for better access to health and rights for all, what can I do about this systematic denial of healthcare to an entire community of people? How can I help ensure access to health services for transgender men and women, in Asia and around the world?
