What rights don’t trans people have?

A list of the rights that trans people are missing in order to be equal to cis people around the world.

This is a live document and is not exhaustive. If you know of a right missing in your country, or you have an article to back up one mentioned (even if it already has a source), please comment below or contact me on Twitter.

(Please note: So far I have only done Europe, Central Asia, the USA, and some of Africa. I haven’t even attempted to research most of the Americas, East Asia, South Asia, or most of Africa yet.)
