The study offers a comparative analysis of transgender rights in Pakistan and India, drawing on insights into legal protections, attitudes towards transgender people, and the experiences of transgender individuals in both societies. Both countries have enacted legislation that acknowledges and safeguards transgender rights, yet transgender people remain subject to discrimination, social marginalization, violence, and limited access to education, healthcare, employment, and justice. This qualitative research also examines the histories and cultures of transgender communities in South Asia and the legacy of colonial law on gender identity. The findings are analysed through the lenses of social constructivism, queer theory, and intersectionality. The study aims to highlight similarities, differences, and gaps in the policies of Pakistan and India with respect to transgender rights, and to make recommendations for equality, social inclusion, and better protection of transgender rights.
