Despite a recent wave in global recognition of the rights of transgender and gender-diverse populations, referred to in this text by the umbrella label of trans*, international law continues to presume a cisgender binary definition of gender - dismissing the lived realities of trans* individuals throughout the world. This gap in international legal recognition and protection has fundamental implications for health, where trans* persons have been and continue to be subjected to widespread discrimination in health care, longstanding neglect of health needs, and significant violations of bodily autonomy.
尽管最近在全球范围内对跨性别和性别多样化人群的权利有了新的认识,在本文中用跨性别*这个总称来指代,但是国际法仍然假定了一个顺性别二元性别定义——无视世界各地跨性别者的实际生活。这种在国际法律承认和保护方面的差距对健康有重大影响,跨性别者在医疗保健中一直受到广泛的歧视,长期忽视健康需求,以及严重侵犯身体自主权。
