“Transgenders are people who perceive their gender identity as different from their gender by birth. On account of poor acceptance in society, these people face difficulty and stigmatiation in accessing and utilizing health care facilities,” he said.
A dedicated clinic would help resolve several issues faced by the community.
A panel of doctors also delivered talks on medical issues of transgender.
