We speak to Al and Ames about how they met and became best friends, and how accessible COVID-19 vaccines, hormone therapy and mental health support are for trans people in Malaysia. 

Give them a follow on Twitter if you want to talk to them more or get a hold of their community-created healthcare guide. Al can be found at @autoph0s and Ames is @rbbrmlk. 

You can also email us at [email protected] to get in touch. Follow us on Instagram @queerfromthestraits and Twitter @queerstraits.
