| Annotation | Like all older adults, older transgender people face many challenges as they age. Transgender people in general experience high levels of discrimination, poverty and victimisation but little is known about this group as they grow older. Some older transgender women and men transitioned from one gender to another at a time when trans people were largely invisible and legal rights were nonexistent. Even today transgender older adults face numerous obstacles to accessing adequate health care. There is much to be done if the lives of trans older adults are to be improved. (JL). |
