ABSTRACT
‘Transgender’, the marginalized community, is part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual community and has existed for centuries. The historical evolution of the transgender community in India can be traced to different times, such as during the Mughal period and the British period; they were treated differently, and in the colonial times and in present times, they have a questionable status in our country. Transgender movements tackle various challenges for those who identify as gender nonconforming throughout the world. They are subjected to widespread discrimination in all social institutions, including the family, the labour market, education, health and hygiene, profession, housing, public accommodation, etc. Some transgender persons made it in their lives despite all the odds and achieved significant milestones. They challenged the sick mindset of society and the associated stigma and prejudices against the transgender community.
