Op-Ed: Why Gender-Affirming Care Is Important for Cambodia’s Transgender Community

Gender identity encompasses an individual's self-perception as a man, woman, or another gender. For some people, this sense of identity feels easy and innate and is an integral part of who they are—they were born biologically male, and inside, they feel like a boy or a man. For many such people, gender identity is maybe not something they’ve given much thought to because how the world sees them is the same as how they see themself.
