In Pakistan transgender have faced a lot because they have been always marginalized since independence, the society have always discriminated, rejected them and the community have faced violence, stigmatization and a sense of loneliness which tells them they are alone in the society. Transgender community have never considered as individuals who are also humans like others and have needs this society has always considered them abnormal or threat to the community and this behavior is a year's practices which have make transgender thinks that this is their fate and they are not going to upgraded ever. The aim of this article is to explore and analyze the impact of transgender act 2018 on the status and condition of transgender community of Pakistan.
