Socio-Economic Status of Transgenders
B.Anitha, Dr.Maduraiveeran, Dr.K.Sasikala
Abstract
Transgender(TG) people are those who defysocial gender norms. Interms of LGBTQI
rights, India's third gender has emerged as a powerful fashion. Transgender people come from all
walks of lifeand face many of the same socio-economic challenges as everyone else does. This
means that any organisational policy and practise has the potential to influence transgender
people's experiences. Inrecent years, the government of India has implemented a slew of
welfare policies and schemes aimed at improving socioeconomic economic conditions and
constitutional protections for the TG population.This paper focuses on the social Econmic status
of transgender people (TGs) and offers an overview of the current state of community
participation. Only secondary data is used in the analysis. Secondary data is gathered from
books, periodicals, academic journals, webpages, and official publications of the government
and other organisations. By establishing and accepting transgender rights, India will beable to
combat its current HIV/AIDS epidemic in a meaningful way, give impact to the human rightsof
sexual minorities, and serve as a model for other countries to recognise gender-based rights.
Toachieve these objectives, India must abolish existing discriminatory laws and enforce equal

this legislation may very well follow in the foot steps of the recent Supreme Court decision in
which transgender people are legally recognised as the third gender.
