ABSTRACT


Transgender persons have played a significant role since the ancient period. However, with British rule in India, their situation started changing. They were treated as marginalized groups, as is evident today. The community has now emerged as the most significant force fighting for their rights. This paper looks into the evolution of transgender legislation in India after the verdict of the Supreme Court in 2014. It then argues how the Act of 2019, being the first legislation for the protection of rights of the community, is not beneficial to the community and lastly provides suggestions that are crucial for the community.
