Abstract

Transgender woman was labelled as male at birth but has the gender identity of a female. A transgender man was assigned female sex at birth but identifies as male. Trans people face a legal system that often does not protect us from discrimination based on our gender identity Despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court Decision that makes it clear that trans people are legally protected from discrimination in the workplace, there is still no comprehensive federal non- discrimination law that includes gender identity - which means trans people may still lack recourse if we face discrimination when we’re seeking housing or dining in a restaurant. Inequality in employment and socioeconomic status educations & workplace Transgender people regularly facing transphobic harassment. This study reveals, Our country has passed an act (Transgender protection act) that aims at protecting their rights and they are not subjected to any kind of discrimination in healthcare, education, and employment we treat them equally Our responsibility as civilians is to treat them equally and give them equal respect as any other gender.
