Transgender are often unable to pursue their legal rights, even though those rights are clearly guaranteed by Sharia. Transgender people face discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives, including their personal lives. Though at any point, in case of rights, jurisprudence has not made any alteration between male, female, and Transgender.

The qualitative study has been conducted. It is concluded that transgender is a human and deserve the same civic and other rights as “male” and “female”. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
