IMPACT OF NALSA DECISION ON THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY IN INDIA

Gender is a pervasive facet in all aspects of social life. Socially and biologically gender is pre-determined into two categories, Male or Female. Gender is a distinct category that describes particular human characteristics. The most important thing about gender is that its meaning is created by society and people are expected to behave and express themselves in a certain way that are consistent with the socially pre-determined gender role associated with their sex. Transgender means- a category of people who are considered as being neither men nor women, such as transgender and intersex people. Transgender also knows the name of Hijra, Kinar and Transgender etc. Despite recent liberalization and legal progress towards protecting gender and sexuality identification, India’s hijra community continues to live on the margins of society.
