In the past year they have published guidelines for transgender women entering mandatory conscription in the Thai military and a guidebook to help parents accept and nurture transgender children.
This year, with your help, they will work hard to
-
build a national support network for parents of transgender children, and
-
continue the struggle for legal recognition of Thai transgender people.
Thai TGA and Alturi need you to be part of this essential work to build a more just and inclusive society for Thai transgender people.
