Elections are supposed to give everyone a chance to take part in social life, but many transgender people face difficulties when voting and running for office.

In recent years, some politicians have used fear and prejudice against transgender people to win votes, and they have also used words like "gender ideology" to scare people and make them misunderstand transgender people.

Some transgender candidates have also been mocked, insulted, and even attacked with violence.

For ordinary transgender voters, if their appearance does not match the gender on their ID, poll workers may refuse to let them vote or speak to them rudely.

Some people are too afraid of discrimination to go vote.

This year, India and Nepal elected openly transgender lawmakers, showing that society can still make progress little by little.

A better democratic society should allow everyone to vote with peace of mind and run for office equally, without being excluded or harmed because of gender identity.
