Presentation

Transgender women commonly experience poor health outcomes. However, little is known about older transgender women’s experiences of government healthcare and social welfare programs in low and middle-income countries, in the context of discrimination and neglect. This article discusses older transgender women’s barriers to accessing government health and social welfare programs in Indonesia, and how intersecting factors like gender, age, and poverty contribute to poor health outcomes.
