Description
Summary:
"While early gains, such as Nepal's pioneering recognition of a third gender category based on self-identification, have garnered widespread praise and made Nepal an important touchpoint for LGBT rights movements elsewhere, implementation remains piecemeal and inadequate. There is no explicit legal option in Nepal to change one's gender marker to 'male' or 'female,' and even the procedure for the third (or 'other') gender option is unclear and ad hoc. In addition, as this report shows, interactions between transgender people and the state have become particularly fraught with discriminatory, ill-informed, and harmful medicalized practices.--Page 1.
