J.Mercy Navis Abinaya, Dr.V.Chanthiramathi
Abstract
Transgender, or trans, is an umbrella term for individuals whose gender identity differs from their socially determined gender by birth, although the term “transgender” and its contemporary definition have only been in use since the late 20th century. Depending on the transgender’s culture and social background, their challenges vary. Transgender people face discrimination not only in public spaces but also in private spheres. For the most part, people have a hard time in accepting them, since they have no idea what they are going through. Is there something special about them that makes them stand out? Can we call them sinners? are not only the questions of the society, but transgender also have many questions within them. This mental trauma is compounded by the shame they experience within their families and the broader community. Discrimination exists on many levels in our society, including those based on one’s social status, physical appearance, level of education, religious beliefs, economic status, and so on. Despite having the right to freedom that every citizen deserves; this study highlights the various forms of persecution transgender people endure both before and after the change.
