Abstract

Mak Nyah often receives hormone treatment and has surgeries to change the way their bodies look to be more feminine. It is believed that these therapies will lessen the discomfort related to their gender identification. This chapter explores the complex challenges encountered by transgender women, including the potential adverse effects of hormonal treatments, psychosocial issues, and the difficulties in ensuring equitable healthcare services for this community.
