Title

A LONG JOURNEY TOWARDS LEGAL RECOGNITION: RIGHTS AND CHALLENGES OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE

Abstract

Abstract: Transgender, whose identity is beyond the notion of conventional gender structures, comprise a publicly institutionalises structure of male-bodied feminine identified people. Traditionally they have existed as a culturally recognised third gender for a very long time, it is recently transgender have been legally recognised as a third gender in India. They face variety of difficulties in the society. Till date hijras and other transgender (TG) communities in India have been excluded from effectively participating in social and cultural life, economy and politics and decision making process. Lack of legal recognition of the gender status is the main reason for such exclusion and it prevents them in exercising their civil rights. Besides, there is no single comprehensive source on the basis of which legal solutions can be arrived at by policymakers.This paper focuses on the transformation of this long-running cultural category of third gender into a legal category of third gender in India, showing that the process of legal recognition has necessitated a simultaneous mobilisation of a discourse of disability in the constitution of hijra as citizens worthy of rights.
