This survey will be conducted in transgender (male to female & female to male) community from India to express the health needs of the transgender community. Ignorance and neglect in medical profession compounds widespread discrimination against recognised third gender group according to an article stated by Elizabeth Soumya (Al Jazeera). The transphobia amongst the medical community makes the transgender care at jeopardy.   We have organised this survey from Indian transgender community to self report the health related problems and their addressal to highlight the demand. This is an effort to address the health needs of the community and reflection of discrimination faced by the trans community.   Transitioning is a process for a transgender individual to bring physical changes (with hormones or surgery) of desired sex. The questionnaire considers selectively the transition related lack of awareness amongst the transgender community and non availability of medical help for it.   The participation is on voluntary basis.

I shall be going in following steps:
Step 1: write up of the concept - I already did that after a thought to create a medical need based literature for Indian transgender community. This helps to set guidelines and protocols as 'evidence based medicine'.
Step 2: Brainstorming with colleagues, community representatives on the relevences included in the questionnaires (that's why I have put this introduction here on the group). Assessment of the real need of it, access to my study population, regional versus national survey, translation of the draft in different languages & its necessity.
Step 3: finalising the project as a scientific paper and re writing it in terms of the medical literature template (Aim of the study, methodology, results, discussion and conclusions)
Step 4: Presentation to institute academic and ethical committee for the approval of project.
Step 5: Collection of data, analysis, manuscript write up, publication in journal, presentation in national conferences to have wider discussions.

Transgender people usually gradually transition into their preferred status, which is usually not well documented in the medical records and in many instances not properly attended by the medical practitioners. On top of the financial and structural barriers to equitable access of delivery services, the majority of Health Care providers lack the knowledge and expertise to treat his population
