Paragraph text
In several countries, laws also specifically criminalize transgender persons based on their gender identity or expression. Some countries criminalize so-called “cross-dressing”, while many others criminalize different forms of gender identity and expression though often vaguely defined laws, leading to various human rights violations of transgender people, including arbitrary arrests and detention.
