As the latter may clu men who self-intify as heterosexual, bisexual, or gay, we heretofore refer to the broar tegory as gay men and other MSM. Thirty-two articl foced on transgenr women (12 of the addrsed both gay men and transgenr populatns). Of the remag grey lerature sourc, 7 focsed on gay men and other MSM, 5 on transgenr persons (2 on transgenr women, 1 on transmascule dividuals), 4 targeted the general populatn, and 1 ncentrated on lbian women, bisexual women, transgenr persons and tersex vast majory (97%; 38/39) of the grey lerature clud was published after 2010; the only exceptn was a 2007 report by Thailand’s Natnal Human Rights Commissn.

A World Bank [8] study (n = 2302) dited that 23% of transgenr people, 11% of lbian women, and 6% of gay men reported that they had experienced discrimatn accsg some form of tn or trag servic.

In some fai, beg gay is viewed as a fect and there may be tense prsure to adopt heteronormative mannerisms and fd an ‘appropriate’ heterosexual partner; failure to nform risks loss of face for the fay, and the subsequent rejectn of the gay fay member [88] LGBT+ dividuals appear to manage this prsure wh actns rarely scribed Wtern ntexts. Twelve studi reported higher rat of forced or erced sex than among the general populatn [7, 17, 33, 39, 43, 59, 70, 78, 82, 86, 96, 113], wh six-fold higher rat of forced sex reported among young gay and bisexual men and 1. A UNDP [7] study (n = 1349) reported that 16% of LGBT+ people had been sexually asslted, wh 21% [59], 20% [82], and 18% [43] reported other studi of gay men and transgenr dividuals.

1A large-sle World Bank [8] study (n = 2302) dited that job discrimatn was generally more severe for transgenr dividuals, 60% of whom reported discrimatn the workplace, pared to 29% of lbian women and 19% of gay men. Ined, the World Bank [8] study, the prevalence of hidg one’s inty among different LGBT+ subgroups—41% of gay men, 25% of lbian women, 23% of transgenr dividuals—was versely associated wh the prevalence of experiencg workplace discrimatn.

In part, this discrimatn may reflect the legacy of the difitn of “homosexualy” as a mental illns, listed by the Thai Mistry of Public Health 2002—a cisn characterized by a former director of the Department of Mental Health as one that “lags behd amic nsens by more than 30 years” [77, 81]. In a study of gay men/MSM and male sex workers (n = 260), over one-third (43%) reported that healthre provirs exhibed hostily towards them and 31% reported beg given ls attentn than other patients [65].

Fally, a study of gay men and other MSM, cludg male sex workers, and transgenr women (n = 408) found that those who reported higher levels of HIV stigma were 28% ls likely to have ever been tted for HIV [59], intifyg a direct lk between stigma and HIV risk. Fally, the overreprentatn of gay men and other MSM, and relative unrreprentatn of lbian women, bisexual women and men, tersex dividuals, and transmascule people that emerg this review is broadly nsistent wh patterns intified LGBT+ rearch lerature other jurisdictns [132–134]. At the same time, the lerature addrsg margalizatn the enomic and tn sectors often lot discrimatn on the basis of genr exprsn solely the ntext of transgenr women; however, discrimatn on the basis of visible genr nonnformy also impacts on tom and gay men wh feme genr exprsn [17, 70].
