Concealment of identity by adopting transgender attire

Identification is the individuality of a person and knowing the gender forms an important parameter for it. The practice of transvestism makes concealment of identity very easy. In an interesting Case report form North Bengal Medical College & Hospital, three transgenders were arrested by GRP for carrying illegal arms and ammunition. They were taken to North Bengal Medical College & Hospital for medical examination where we found all of them concealed their gender by adopting female attire. After general physical examination, radiological examination and karyotyping from buccal mucosa, it was concluded that all the three persons were genetically as well as phenotypically male.
