摘要

喀拉拉邦最近见证了社会对跨性别群体的接受程度的转变。参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病项目使她们获得了一定的社会认可。2014年，最高法院对国家法律服务管理局诉印度政府的判决出现了转折点。政府开始制定支持跨性别人士的政策和福利计划。此后，喀拉拉邦政府于2015年起草了《跨性别政策》。目前的情况有了很大的改善。然而，在医疗服务方面并没有太大的改善。没有治疗方案或指南，这可能导致实践中没有质量保证和高成本。本章试图回顾跨性别政策实施前后喀拉拉邦跨性别社区的状况，以调查安全措施(包括医疗保健服务)方面的成就和差距。

Contextualizing Healthcare Needs of the Transgender Community in Kerala

Kerala witnessed a transformation in recent times in the case of social acceptance of the transgender community. Participation in HIV/AIDS projects gave them some social recognition. There was a turning point in the situation when the Supreme Court judgement came in 2014 on National Legal Service Authority vs Government of India. It started to formulate policies and welfare schemes to support the transgender community. Following this, the Kerala government drafted the Transgender Policy in 2015. The present situation is much improved. Yet there is not much improvement in healthcare services. There is no protocol or guidelines for treatment, which may result in practice without quality assurance and high cost. This chapter is an attempt to review the situation of the transgender community in Kerala before and after the transgender policy to look into achievements and gaps in security measures, including healthcare access.
