A Study on the Challenges Faced By Transgender in Kanniyakumari District

Abstract:

Transgender is an umbrella term used to describe individuals whose gender self-identity or expression violates established gender norms. Transgender people are men, women, both, or both who do not conform to their assigned gender, but the phenomenon of transgender people is uncommon, but with more media attention on the subject, more teenagers and young adults are "coming out." at an earlier age. Finding comprehensive medical and mental health services is extremely difficult as these youth face many psychological problems, including family and peer rejection, harassment, trauma, abuse,inadequate housing, legal problems, lack of financial support, and educational problems. Transgender people are a part of society and everyone has equal rights in everything in the world. Not new, but their presence can be seen from many scripts sinceancient times, because nature may need such a class to maintain balance. Discrimination is the most important aspect we need to think about. Discrimination based on their class and gender makes transgender people one of the most vulnerable groups in Indian society. This research paper has been publishedwith an aim to identifythe problems of transgenders in Kanyakumari district.
