People who are transgender have been mistreated in a terrible way. Think about what would happen if you lost your house, job, and children, or if your teacher made fun of you, put you in detention, or sexually abused you. This kind of discrimination, which is caused by people’s biases or unfair laws, makes it harder and harder to get back on your feet financially and personally. ¹ Most of the time, these people don’t get any special rights, and all they get is paper welfare. Even though the Indian Constitution says it will forbid all kinds of discrimination, there are still questions about what gender means. Since the Supreme Court took affirmative action in the NALSA judgment, a lot of attention has been paid to the rights of transgender people. The purpose of this article is to discuss the socio-legal status of transgender people in India. Even though there have been some good changes, like more understanding and acceptance of their suffering, this part of the community still has a lot of problems. ²
