Although the Netherlands is renowned for its forerunner position in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and intersex (LGBTI) rights, this study urges one to question whether it can still live up to that image. Reports, news items, and signals from non-governmental organizations, such as Transgender Network Netherlands in the field show that especially transgender migrants/refugees regularly face abuse and discrimination. Yet, academic research underlying such findings is scarce. Moreover, a highly gendered discourse on the current migration/refugee crisis makes transgender migrants/refugees even more invisible. This article presents an interpretive approach to the institutional and disciplinary realities they become part of. The approach comes from (1) a literature review, surveying both scholarly publications and other sources; (2) patchwork or instant ethnography, thickening the findings from the literature; (3) and foremostly a theoretical interpretation of the precarious situation in which many transgender migrants/refugees find themselves. We draw upon synthesizing concepts such as "total institution" (Goffman 1961; Henry 1963), "human waste" (Bauman 2004), and "armed love" (Ticktin 2011) to constitute our theoretical framework, through which we show that transgender migrants/refugees are met with compassion and pity, rather than equal rights and full citizenship. This bitter logic leads us to the conclusion that within the Dutch asylum system, transgender migrants/refugees are rendered politically irrelevant, which eventually reflects the main priority of the Dutch authorities (and society at large) to control the boundaries of the nation-state, rather than to address the needs and rights of those people who seek, on legitimate grounds, a passport to a better, that is, a full life.

This qualitative study was conducted in Penang, Malaysia with the aim to analyze and gather in-depth understanding of challenges faced by transgender who used drugs. This study also aimed to understand some of the psychosocial support eceived by this marginal population in terms of overcoming their substance useehaviour. Eighteen respondents between the ages of 18 and 40 years were selected through the snowballing sampling technique due to the difficulty of getting the targeted respondents. The study found that all of the 18 respondents who participated in this study, only 4 respondents have used cannabis and methamphetamine ecstasy over a period of 12 months prior to the present study. The rest of the respondents in this study doesn't involved with drugs. This study suggests that both government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should continue to provide appropriate HIV and AIDS intervention the transgender population. Social work intervention primarily in educating this marginal population towards the prevention of HIV transmission especially preventing from drugs substance uses which are associated with behaviours that facilitate HIV transmission in their daily life.

Equality and equity are always a core of Indian Educational System. Our educational policy is trying to achieve this commitment which was driven and guided by our Constitutional values, which give and ensure the fundamental right to Education for every individual besides of their race, caste, class, gender and religion. We all are free to get an education to make ourselves as well as our nation get progressed. After independence, various measures have been established to fulfill this goal and serve education to all equally and without any hinder. However, educational access and equity remain quite elusive for some communities, such as the Third Gender (Transgender). In India, transgender people have been marginalized for many years, since the colonial period and still remain deprived, underprivileged, and ostracized. The purpose of this assignment is to highlight those challenges that minimize educational opportunities for trans-people in India by reviewing the historic isolation and marginalization, socio-cultural practices, resource deprivation and poverty, harsh social conditions and contemporary scenario. Additionally, this article will try to critically examine the emerging efforts and opportunities including their Constitutional educational rights to improve educational opportunities for them. To promote transgender Education with equity and equality. Also, tries to provide some suggestions to improve their status. The work is mainly based only on secondary data, which includes various literature resources i.e. books, periodical, research articles, official publication of government and Non- Governmental organizations, websites.

Assisting transgender individuals is a concern for career development practitioners because there is a lack of knowledge on this topic. The complexity of gender reassignment surgery brings challenges and unique needs to this population, throughout gender transition, and requires career development practitioners to understand these challenges and needs to provide appropriate services to transgender individuals. The author conducted a comprehensive review of the literature in the areas of transgender issues in career development and counseling, counseling transgender individuals, gender transition, and multicultural counseling competencies. The role of career development practitioners as advocates for transgender individuals who experience gender transition is discussed.

AbstractThis contribution focuses on the linguistic representation of transgender people in the British press, through the analysis of a corpus of newspaper articles collected between 2013 and 2015. Within the framework of Queer Linguistics and Corpus-based Discourse Analysis, this study analyses the linguistic choices retraceable in the corpus under investigation, conveying a given representation of transgender individuals as social subjects. The analysis focuses on naming strategies and the collective representation of transgender identities.

This paper explores several research methods used by researchers and published in various scientific journals to examine transgender issues in various countries. Transgender individuals are one of the gender-based minorities in social life. They live in uncomfortable conditions. They face life's problems, which include problems in expressing religious rights, economic stability, and getting professional jobs. Like other human beings, they also have the right as citizens. These rights include civil rights, including religious rights, political rights, and social rights. There are several research methodologies that may be appropriate to be applied in research on transgender-related issues, namely life history, ethnography, phenomenology, feminist approach, textual or hermeneutic interpretation, and case studies.[Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi beberapa metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh para peneliti yang dipublikasikan dalam berbagai jurnal ilmiah untuk meneliti isu-isu transgender di berbagai negara. Para individu transgender merupakan salah satu kelompok minoritas berdasarkan gender di dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Mereka hidup dalam kondisi yang tidak nyaman. Mereka menghadapi berbagai problem kehidupan, yang termasuk di dalamnya adalah problem dalam mengekspresikan hak beragama, stabilitas ekonomi, dan mendapatkan pekerjaan profesional. Sebagaimana layaknya manusia lainnya, mereka juga memiliki hak sebagai warga negara. Hak tersebut antara lain adalah hak sipil yang termasuk di dalamnya hak beragama, hak berpolitik, dan hak bersosial. Ada beberapa metodologi penelitian yang mungkin sesuai untuk diterapkan dalam penelitian pada isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan transgender, yaitu sejarah hidup (life history), etnografi, fenomenologi, pendekatan feminis, interpretasi teks atau hermeneutik, dan studi kasus.](This article is based on a preliminary of Dissertation that is written by Rr.

Transgender and otherwise non-binary decedents face erasure from police statistics, forensic death investigation records and government databases. Current research shows concurrence on predictable skeletal changes that trans men and trans women experience due to hormone therapy and/or gender affirming surgery. These findings could help inform the identification of transgender individuals from skeletal remains, allowing for better tailored police investigations and closure to grieve for loved ones. In practice, Canadian forensic skeletal sex assessments and documentation are based on a strict male/female binary with minimal latitude for transgender (or otherwise non-binary) determinations. The lack of more inclusive, nationally streamlined sex and gender data conventions also increases the risk of transgender individuals being misgendered, and therefore misidentified or left unidentified in death, and left out of violent crime and missing-persons statistics, civilian death statistics and in archaeological contexts.

AbstractThe medicalization of gender variance is a key force in transgender people's experiences of embodiment, identity, and community. While most directly dictating experiences of diagnosis and medical classification, it is important to acknowledge that the effects of medicalization are widespread across social contexts and institutions. I explore the medical model of transgender identity, with special attention to its current diagnostic classification, in order to highlight how transgender people's interactional experiences of gender are shaped by medical authority. I review literature that highlights the operation of the medical model as a normative accountability structure in its influence across multiple institutions of social life including health and healthcare, transgender community groups, and legal classification.

When there is uncertainty about the gender identity or social gender role of an individual, determining exactly who the opposite sex is can be a complicated question for both the transgender person and for those who seek to relate to her. Written in both an enlightened and a reader friendly style interspersed with vignettes, When the Opposite Sex Isn't offers a combination of insights and common sense understanding of the diversity of the human condition together with concepts of gender and sexuality that expand the horizons of any mental health professional, regardless of the clinical focus o
