An Analysis of the Problems Faced by the Transgender Community in Sindh: An Approach towards their Religious, Social, Economic, and Educational Issues
The purpose of this research is to investigate how people are aware of the genuineness of Transgender people. It will be helpful for researchers who are still confused about many myths associated with the transgender community. A qualitative method of research has been used for the study. This research article highlights how the initial stage of transgender is started. Moreover, the study also reveals that, when the physical appearance of individuals is indicated to be unsatisfactory to fit in the ideal image of a male or a female, then people entitle them as transgender or Hijra or Khusra. It has been found through the review of the literature and methodological approaches of this article that, harsh words are often associated with the transgender community, there are looked down upon because people think they are homosexual, gay, lesbian, and queer. Mostly, they are referred to by using dishonouring, ridiculing, and insulting language, especially in Pakistan.
