Transgender persons are one such group of people who have been marginalized, abused, disdained and callously neglected community in almost every known society. Transgender is often used as an umbrella term to signify individuals who defy rigid, binary gender constructions and who expresses or present a breaking and blurring of culturally prevalent stereotypically gender roles. They experience stigmatization, discrimination, sexual abuse, lack of civil rights and harassment accessing health services due to their transgender identity. Besides the lack of employment and educational opportunities pushed them to live the lives in poverty and indulge in risky trade of sex work. The aim of this paper is to highlight the issues of transgenders living in Kashmir due to ambiguous gender identity.
