Born 1988. Esan Regmi is an activist and intersex Asia.
Esan Regmi (born 1988) is a prominent Nepali intersex man and intersex human rights activist. He founded Nepal's first and only intersex-led organization called Campaign for Change back in 2017, and he is one of the co founders of International NGO Intersex Asia. Regmi was raised female but developed male characteristics during puberty, resulting in stigma, discrimination and claims of 'fake' identity in education and employment. He describes travelling to India for medical treatment, and discussion about being sent to be part of a kinnar or hijra community. Regmi was loved by his family, and studied at home, but his mental health suffered.

Regmi has worked with Zwischengeschlecht on submissions to the United Nations leading to calls for change to medical and social systems in Nepal. He speaks nationally and internationally on intersex rights.
