Abstract
Indian transgender persons experience inequities. We explored the role of intersectionality in health inequities faced by Indian transgender persons. Narrative analysis suggests age, socio-economic status, education, caste, colour and family support serve role in health inequities, which results in the development of ‘pervasive trans phobia’ in the Indian healthcare system.
