Abstract
Under this study I am majorly going to cover the circumstances and conditions which lead to the discrimination and non-acceptance of Trans kids in the society. The main objective of choosing this topic for my thesis was to try bringing a change in the society by providing awareness among the people that being a Trans kid is something which is not in control of any child being born. It is a situation which is completely in the hands of the Allah Almighty? The utmost reason for choosing this topic is to make parents realize that like other children they have Trans kids can also be given a normal life rather than dropping them and leaving them to live on their own and giving them no chances to be normal in life. My topic as the title itself tells is that there should be no discrimination between any kids being born. Every person born on this planet has an equal right to be accepted and a right not to be discriminated. Or As each child born has a right for acceptance. He has a right to be educated, he has a right of being loved and respected.
The main purpose behind the research is to unleash the reasons why the third gender specifically those belonging to Pakistan, are being discriminated a lot in the society, although they enjoy living a life of women, profoundly loving the abundant use of makeover cosmetics and getting dressed up like women, then why not to choose a respectable, praiseworthy profession which would be a sign of great prestige and honor for them and their families, but since the word family is brought under consideration, that is why it is also important to do the in-depth analysis of a she male’s separation from their families. Moreover, the researcher also deliberated the actions taken by the government and the Supreme Court in order to protect them and for the provision of their basic human rights. The data was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively; both emic and etic perspectives were presented. Trans-individuals reported feeling of depression, rejection and isolation, some of them also reported attempts to commit suicide or self-harm. They were compelled to discontinue their education and dropped school so early because of the inappropriate behavior of people and absence of proper policy about trans-individuals at schools. The research findings and recommendations would be helpful in making policy about Tran’s individuals at schools and at work place. A proper policy and legislation may provide them protection and the status of a respectable citizen, thus not a mere problem for their parents and the society.
