Furthermore, it highlights the challenges faced by parental accepted transgender (who live with their parents/family) in their lives with a particular focus in an academic and professional context. Transgender are usually the most neglected section of our society. Their neglect usually begins within the family by rejecting them and given to the transgender communities. In our traditional society like Pakistan, there are families who showed courage of accepting their transgender offspring so; it brings many challenges for the parents such as extended family pressure, encouraging their child to cope with dichotomy (male or female) of genders’ accepted academic environment and employment matters. These pressures will eventually reflect upon the transgender children welfare. This study intends to initiate the development of specific advocacy initiatives towards realization of equal citizenship and dignity for transgender individuals and community alike by highlighting the success of parental accepted transgender. The study was place within the theoretical framework of Parental Accepted Rejected (PAR) Theory by to (Rohner R. P., 2008). Qualitative research methodology using semi-structured interviews of 20 transgender of Lahore was employed through snowball sampling technique.
