Navigating Identity : The Experiences Of Transgenders in Contemporary India

Author(s) Ms. Aayuushi Pandey, Mr. Ashwary Ghuley
Country India
Abstract This paper explores the multifaceted experiences of transgender individuals in contemporary India, focusing on identity formation, socio-legal recognition, stigma, and resilience. Through a review of existing literature, legal reforms, and firsthand accounts, the paper investigates how transgender persons navigate societal expectations, claim visibility, and assert agency in a rapidly changing socio-political landscape. Despite constitutional protections and the 2019 Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, entrenched stigma and institutional discrimination persist. This study underscores the importance of inclusive policies, education, and representation in reshaping narratives around gender diversity. Transgender individuals in India contend with intersecting layers of social stigma, legal reform, and cultural complexity. This study examines the nuanced process of identity navigation among transgender persons in contemporary India. Drawing from policy analysis, academic literature, and case-based insights, the paper identifies critical barriers in education, healthcare, and employment. . It also evaluates how grassroots movements, legal interventions, and increasing visibility are reshaping transgender realities. The findings underscore the need for structural inclusivity and institutional sensitivity to ensure dignity and equality for transgender citizens.
