  Transsexuals of Brazil

Transsexuals of Brazil
 
Transgender people--more specifically, people who were born male but present themselves as female--are Brazil's single most marginalized group. Though activists and government agencies are beginning to address the problems they face, most Brazilian transsexuals suffer from violence, unique health risks, social isolation, and enormous emotional stresses.
