Title	Legal gender recognition in Malaysia : a legal & policy review in the context of human rights / Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN)
Imprint	Bangkok : Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN), 2017.
Physical	83 p. : ill. ; 30 cm.
Summary	Trans people in Malaysia face systemic and widespread stigma and human rights violations. Muslim trans people are subject to arrests, harassment and assault from federal, state, and local Islamic religious authorities, and often avoid reporting these incidents for fear that the police will not protect them. Due to limitations in the separation of state and religion discussed below, state-enacted Islamic law affects the lives of non-Muslim trans people as well, with all trans Malaysians regardless of religion being unable to access gender affirmation surgery and obtain legal gender recognition.
