VOICED : Transgender Vietnamese turn to black market hormones

The video discusses the challenges faced by transgender individuals in Vietnam, who often resort to buying hormones on the black market due to the lack of legal access to hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery. This self-medication poses significant health risks, including liver damage and blood clots. The government is working on a law to allow legal gender changes, which could improve healthcare access. However, the law is not expected to be in effect for two years, leaving many in the transgender community to continue taking risks. The uncertainty of the law's impact causes hesitation among transgender individuals.
