8 Countries With the Most Transgenders in the World

Countries With the Most Transgenders in the World.

Transgenderism is the state of one’s gender identity or gender expression not matching one’s assigned sex. Transgender people may be transsexual, cross-dressers, drag performers or otherwise express their gender in ways that differ from what is traditionally associated with their sex assigned at birth.
The term transgender has been used to describe anyone whose behavior contradicts gender stereotypes, but it has become increasingly associated with transsexual people who have undergone medical procedures to change their bodies (sex reassignment therapy).
Transgender people often face discrimination and violence because of their real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity; therefore many countries have laws protecting them from discrimination.[1]

United States

The United States has a long history of transgenderism, dating back to the 1800s. In fact, it’s one of the first countries to recognize that gender is not limited to male or female. The term “transgender” was first used in an article by John Oliven in 1965 and was later popularized by Virginia Prince who started publishing newsletters about transgender issues under the name “Transvestia.”
In terms of laws and regulations regarding transgenderism in America today, there are no federal laws protecting trans people from discrimination based on their gender identity or expression but some states do have such protections (see below). For example: Massachusetts passed legislation making it illegal for employers with more than 6 employees not to give reasonable accommodations for those who identify as trans California health plans under its Medi-Cal program cover transition related care without prior approval; New York City prohibits discrimination against employees based on their gender identity/expression; Hawaii bans conversion therapy aimed at changing someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity/expression; Oregon requires that students be allowed access facilities consistent with their gender identities while attending school activities such as dances where students dress up according to traditional gender roles

India

India is the country with the most transgender people. The term “transgender” refers to a person who does not identify with their birth gender, and there are laws in place that protect their rights.

In 2014, India’s Supreme Court ruled that transgender people have equal rights under law as other citizens. This means they can choose whether they want to be identified as male or female on official documents such as passports and driving licenses; they also have access to free sex reassignment surgery at government hospitals if they wish to undergo this procedure before changing their legal status from male to female or vice versa (the procedure must be completed within six months).

In addition, there are no restrictions on where transgenders can live or work–they’re allowed into any hotel room or apartment building without being asked for proof of identity first–and many organizations offer scholarships specifically targeted towards helping those who identify themselves as belonging within this group achieve higher levels of education than might otherwise be possible due to financial constraints caused by discrimination against them throughout history

Thailand

Thailand is one of the most welcoming countries for transgender people. In fact, it’s often referred to as “the land of smiles.”

Thai culture has traditionally been accepting of cross-dressing and gender nonconformity, and there are many examples throughout Thai history of men dressing as women for entertainment purposes.

The word “kathoey” has been translated into English as “ladyboy” or “transvestite,” but it actually refers to a person who identifies with a gender other than what they were assigned at birth–it doesn’t necessarily mean that they want to change their sex or undergo surgery. The term can also be used by straight men who dress up like women for fun on weekends (known locally as “tomboys”).

Brazil

Brazil is home to the largest transgender population in Latin America, with an estimated 500,000 people identifying as trans. It’s also one of the most progressive countries in terms of laws and regulations regarding transgenderism–in 2014, Brazil became the first country in South America to allow citizens over 18 to change their gender on official documents without any medical requirements or court approval.

The country has made great strides in terms of visibility for its trans community: famous Brazilian trans people include Laverne Cox (Orange Is The New Black), Valentina Sampaio (model), Lea T (model) and Andressa Urach (socialite).

Australia

Australia is a country in the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s home to some of the most progressive laws regarding gender identity. In 2018, Australia legalized same-sex marriage and removed its ban on gay sex. The country also allows transgender people to change their birth certificates without having undergone reassignment surgery or hormone therapy–a policy that puts it ahead of many other countries when it comes to recognizing nonbinary identities.

Australia has long been considered one of the most liberal countries in terms of LGBT rights: It was among the first nations to decriminalize homosexuality in 1975; it was also one of only two countries (alongside New Zealand) where same-sex couples could marry before 2015 when Ireland passed its own law legalizing same-sex marriage.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has a long history of accepting transgender people. In fact, it was one of the first countries in Europe to pass laws protecting trans people from discrimination and violence. Today, there are over 140 gender identity clinics across England and Wales where you can receive hormone therapy or even surgery if you choose.

The most famous transgender person from Great Britain is probably Eddie Izzard, who began his career as a stand-up comedian but later became an actor as well as an activist for LGBT rights around the world (he even ran for mayor of London!). Other notable British trans icons include Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce), who came out as a woman on Vanity Fair’s cover in 2015; Lily Madigan–the first openly transgender female politician elected by her peers at age 21; Laverne Cox–a star on Orange Is The New Black who has become one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people; Jazz Jennings–who stars in TLC’s reality show I Am Jazz alongside her family; Munroe Bergdorf–who made headlines after being fired by L’Oreal Paris UK because she criticized racism within mainstream feminism

Germany

Germany has a population of 82 million people and is one of the most progressive countries in Europe. It was the first country in Europe to legalize same-sex marriage, which it did in 2017.

Germany also has progressive laws regarding transgenderism and gender identity In 2013, they passed legislation allowing trans people to legally change their name without requiring surgery or hormone therapy as proof that they’re serious about wanting to live as their true gender identity (although these requirements still apply when getting a new passport). This law made Germany one of only three European countries–alongside Austria and Malta–to allow such changes without any medical requirements at all!
Germany’s laws on other aspects of transgenderism are similarly progressive: The country recognizes both male-to-female (MTF) and female-to-male (FTM) transitions under its legal definition of “gender reassignment,” which allows them access to public spaces like bathrooms based on their self-identified gender rather than physical appearance alone; this means that even if someone looks like a woman but identifies as male or vice versa, they can use whichever bathroom feels safest/most comfortable for them at any time without worrying about being harassed or questioned by others inside said facility because there aren’t any rules specifying where someone must go based solely off their physical appearance alone.”

South Africa

South Africa is the first country in Africa to recognize transgender people as a legal class. The country’s constitution, which was adopted in 1996, protects its citizens from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The South African Human Rights Commission has also issued guidelines for employers on how to protect trans employees from discrimination at work.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s take a look at some of the major findings from our research.

The United States is home to more than 1 million transgenders, making it the country with the highest number of transgenders in the world.
India has over 500,000 transgender people living there and accounts for 2% of its total population. It also has one of the highest rates of gender reassignment surgeries performed every year (around 700).
Thailand has around 100,000 transgender people who make up 0.6% of its overall population; however, this number is expected to rise as more people come out as transgenders in Thailand due to increased awareness campaigns about gender identity disorder (GID) and other related issues such as discrimination against those who identify themselves as non-binary or intersexed individuals
