Dear Friends and Supporters,
Remember when we mentioned last time that we would be launching a brand new fundraising project – supporting transgender rights?
Taiwan is often hailed as an LGBTQ+ beacon in Asia, yet a cruel reality remains: transgender individuals must undergo invasive surgery to remove their reproductive organs to change their legal gender. This project, led by TAPCPR, aims to abolish this inhumane requirement through strategic litigation and constitutional challenges. By training human rights lawyers and fostering public education, we strive for a future where every person’s gender identity is recognized with dignity and without surgical coercion.
Our ultimate goal is a systemic overhaul: replacing the surgical mandate with a self-determination model. By removing the financial and physical barriers to legal recognition, we will liberate thousands of transgender people from state-mandated sterilization. This change will ensure equal access to employment, healthcare, and education, cementing Taiwan’s role as a true human rights leader and providing a roadmap for transgender rights across Asia.
We sincerely invite you to support this project so that transgender rights can be protected and everyone can live comfortably and freely!
