Abstract

This study delves deeply into  the experiences of the transgender community in Pakistan. The savagery they face for something they did not even opt for and lastly, given the opportunity, their desire, their willingness to live a reverent life like standard genders among which they cannot even walk freely. This research reckons lives of transgender in four different aspects of life. Starting from Profession and Employment, research showed 90% of interviewed transgender community was involved in begging and dancing with just 10% were self-employed mostly because of their strong background. Secondly, more than 90% of participants were illiterate, very small percentage had minor education and even rare ones had education up to intermediate level, and the major reason behind this was ‘no social acceptance’. Research also indicated most of the transgender would have opted for a different, more respectable profession if they had a certain level of education. Third part of research aimed towards their economic conditions and results stated that 95% were in poor economic conditions that enforced them to beg or dance. Lastly, all this research brought us up to a stance  that transgender who have family support at their backs never opt for begging or dancing. 90% transgender did not have family support which also reflects the percentage of transgender involved in begging.
