Dear All,
I am interested in working on the topic of financial exclusion of Transgender. I need some literature for the same. Can anyone suggest me good articles or links for the said study from any country.
I would contact community Centers that serve the LGBTQA population such as the Center in Las Vegas or the one in San Luis Obisbo CA. I sometimes see student studies and questionnaires posted in Craigslist or Fetlife but not following any of these myself. I moderate a two spirit and travelers group and run across many Transgender people who are homeless. I can't really help you with studies. One area to look into is homeless street kids. I used to volunteer my time with these children of the street. One of the longest services in Portland Oregon is Outside In which provides medical care and connections to shelters.it is difficult to find resources and information on marginalized populations. The other thing is there are scholarships offered to scholars on this topic but they are rarely published. It might however be place to ask about current work. Mine is decades old and you need current information.
“financial exclusion” refers to the situation where people have difficulties in accessing suitable financial services within the traditional market. In India they have no right to access various facilities because of their gender issues.
You could consult work by Professor Stephen Whittle , OBE is a United Kingdom activist with the transactivist organization Press for Change and professor of Equalities Law in the School of Law at Manchester Metropolitan University. Very well published, he is himself transgender, and is widely interviewed and well published. He is also a lovely guy and would I am sure not rebuff you if you asked him directly once you read his work.
Reimbursement policies are different in almost every country. As long as genderd ysphoria is acknowledged as a "disease' , and part of internationally accepted classifications systems ( ICD, DSM) social insurances should be obliged to cover all costs of the transition trajectory.
To date a working group of WHO is discussing Genderdysphoria, Transgenderism, Genderidentity incongruence as to how it should be implemented in the upcoming ICD 11 version. It 's all about depathologization and the need of medical treatment. It is very likely that social insurances will not cover the costs as soon as genderdysphoria is regarded as a sort of gender orientation and not longer as a 'disease'.
The fact that some countries neglect the needs of transgenders is mostly due to a political/cultural transphobic background. Moreover many countries judge sex reassignment as 'cosmetic' and refuse reimbursment
