Transgender Inclusion and 2024 Taiwanese Elections
<p>Even though Taiwan made history by becoming the first country in Asia to <a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/global-legal-monitor/2019-06-18/taiwan-same-sex-marriage-law-enters-into-effect/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">legalize </a>same-sex marriage in 2019, the LGBTQI+ community in Taiwan continues its <strong>struggle for full equality</strong>. An important lingering area for LGBTQI+ advocacy in Taiwan following the legalization of same-sex marriage is broader <strong>inclusion of transgender and non-binary individuals</strong>. The issue of transgender inclusion remains an important topic in the ongoing campaign ahead of the upcoming legislative and presidential elections, although it received little attention in global media. Taiwan’s<strong> Green Party </strong>made history by nominating Abbygail Wu (吳伊婷), engineer, activist, and a transgender woman, as a candidate on its party list; this marks the <strong>first time </strong>when a transgender person could win a seat in the Taiwanese legislature. </p>
