To what extent do countries protect the rights of transgender people? How does this differ from legal protections countries offer sexual orientation minorities? What conditions are beneficial for advancing trans rights? Limitations in data availability and accessibility make answering these types of trans-specific questions difficult. To address this shortcoming, this article introduces a new dataset. The Trans Rights Indicator Project (TRIP) provides insight into the legal situations transgender people faced in 173 countries from 2000 to 2021. The dataset currently includes 14 indicators that capture the presence or absence of laws related to criminalization, legal gender recognition, and anti-discrimination protections. The article then uses this data to discuss the global status of transgender rights throughout the period and compares these trends to sexual orientation rights. Finally, the article concludes with a preliminary analysis of three institutional and cultural factors that may help explain variation in transgender rights throughout the world.

LGBT+ rights are human rights that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other people outside traditional sexuality and gender categories have. But in practice, these rights are often not protected to the same extent as the rights of straight and cisgender people.

Among others, LGBT+ rights include: physical integrity rights, such as not being executed for their sexuality or gender and not being subjected to conversion therapies; social rights, such as changing their legal gender, being sexually intimate, marrying, and adopting children with people of the same sex; economic rights such as not being discriminated at work; and political rights, such as being able to advocate for themselves and their communities publicly.

The protection of these rights allows LGBT+ people to live the lives they want and to thrive in them.

On this dataset, you can find data and visualizations on how the protection of LGBT+ rights has changed over time, and how it differs across countries.

PubMed search strategy, table of outcomes measures, and risk-of-bias heatmap for a systematic review project assessing the relationship between gender-affirming hormone therapy and psychological outcomes for transgender people.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Trans Status or History (7 Groups) in Scotland.

Scotland’s Census included a new question on trans status or history in 2022. This means there is not comparable data for previous censuses.

The question was “Do you consider yourself to be trans, or have a trans history?”. People were asked to tick “No” or “Yes”. People who ticked “Yes” were asked to describe their trans status (for example, non-binary, trans man, trans woman).

Transgender or trans is a term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth.

This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over.

IntroductionThis study describes the differences and similarities in mental health, substance use, and substance use treatment outcomes between people presenting for SUD treatment who identified as transgender and those who identified as cisgender men or women.MethodsWe compared 64 individuals who self-identified as transgender and presented for SUD treatment to samples of cisgender men and women (separately) matched based on propensity scores which were created based on sociodemographic factors known to influence both the nature of substance use and patterns of treatment engagement including age, education, race, stable housing, and employment status. Comparisons were made using χ2 tests and t-tests in over 150 variables collected at treatment intake regarding physical and mental health, substance use patterns, events that led to treatment, reasons for seeking treatment, and treatment outcomes.ResultsThe transgender sample endorsed six of the seven suicide-related items more often than at least one of the cisgender-matched samples. Furthermore, the transgender sample remained in treatment significantly longer (M = 32.3, SD = 22.2) than the cisgender male sample (M = 19.5, SD = 26.1, t = 2.17, p = 0.03).DiscussionThis study is a first step into understanding gender minority population experiences during SUD treatment. While there was no significant difference between the cisgender and transgender samples on most variables, there was an elevated prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviors in the transgender sample, which warrants further investigation.

This dataset includes Demographic information of 22 patients suffering from Dementia. according to DSM-5, there are 4 types dementia, FTD (frototemporal dementia - Alzheimer, Lewy Body, Vascular dementia). There are 21 columns. Each columns has a different meaning: ID: it means the ID number and each person has the only one. so each number in this columns is belongs to only one person Region: it shows the home of each patient's location. The Clinic has located at the center of the city but the living area of each patient could be vary. The north of the city contains the houses of the wealthier people while the south of the city is home to more unwealthy people. the east and west of the city are for the medium. sex: it shows the gender of people. we ask them to choose their gender between female, male, transgender. there in no one with transgender. education: in this column, there is 4 unique words indication the level of education. Illiterate (people with no ability to write and read), cycle (people who have studied up to only 9 years), Diploma (people who completed their own diploma degree and have studied for 12 years), bachelor (people who has bachelor degree). PTSD: Post-traumatic stress disorder . if patient has the any experience of PTSD, they got 'yes'.

hyper_homocystein: Hyperhomocysteinemia refers to the condition where there is greater than 15 micromol/L of homocystein in the blood. If this feature is very high, they've got 'yes'.

MCI(mild cognitive impairment): it is the stage of previews dementia, when patients' relatives understand that the patients have a problem in their memory. it is not the stage of dementia. it is the gold time that patients should meet the doctor and get treatment.

OCD: Obsessive-compulsive disorder. if any patient suffer from OCD, they have got 'yes'

mood disorder: some diagnosis like bipolar, is the subset of mood disorder.

subcortical: it shows the changes in the subcortical of their patients.

VD(vascular dementia), FTD(frototemporal dementia), AD(Alzheimer), lewy body are the 4 types of dementia and if their have one of them, they have got 'yes'. some patients have more have 1 diagnosis.

Delirium,ataxia, migren, and neuropathy are the other disorthers that exist in this dataset.

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) are terms that refer to individuals whose gender identity differs from sex assigned at birth. TGD individuals may choose any variety of modifications to their gender expression including, but not limited to changing their name, clothing, or hairstyle, starting hormones, or undergoing surgery. Starting in the 1950s, surgeons and endocrinologists began treating what was then known as transsexualism with cross sex hormones and a variety of surgical procedures collectively known as sex reassignment surgery (SRS). Soon after, Harry Benjamin began work to develop standards of care that could be applied to these patients with some uniformity. These guidelines, published by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), are in their 8th iteration. Through each iteration there has been a requirement that patients requesting gender-affirming hormones (GAH) or gender-affirming surgery (GAS) undergo one or more detailed evaluations by a mental health provider through which they must obtain a “letter of readiness,” placing mental health providers in the role of gatekeeper. WPATH specifies eligibility criteria for gender-affirming treatments and general guidelines for the content of letters, but does not include specific details about what must be included, leading to a lack of uniformity in how mental health providers approach performing evaluations and writing letters. This manuscript aims to review practices related to evaluations and letters of readiness for GAS in adults over time as the standards of care have evolved via a scoping review of the literature. We will place a particular emphasis on changing ethical considerations over time and the evolution of the model of care from gatekeeping to informed consent. To this end, we did an extensive review of the literature. We identified a trend across successive iterations of the guidelines in both reducing stigma against TGD individuals and shift in ethical considerations from “do no harm” to the core principle of patient autonomy. This has helped reduce barriers to care and connect more people who desire it to gender affirming care (GAC), but in these authors’ opinions does not go far enough in reducing barriers.

The island of New Guinea harbours one of the world’s largest tracts of intact tropical forest, with 41% of its land area in Indonesian Papua (Papua and Papua Barat Provinces). Within Papua, the advent of a 4000-km ‘development corridor’ reflects a national agenda promoting primary-resource extraction and economic integration Papua, a resource frontier containing vast forest and mineral resources, increasingly exhibits new conservation and development dynamics suggestive of the earlier frontier development phases of other Indonesian regions. Local environmental and social considerations have been discounted in the headlong rush to establish the corridor and secure access to natural resources. Peatland and forest conversion are increasingly extensive within the epicentres of economic development. Deforestation frontiers are emerging along parts of the expanding development corridor, including within the Lorentz World Heritage Site. Customary land rights for Papua’s indigenous people remain an afterthought to resource development, fomenting conditions contrary to conservation and sustainable development. A centralised development agenda within Indonesia underlies virtually all of these changes. We recommend specific actions to address the environmental, economic, and socio-political challenges of frontier development along the Papuan corridor.
