Transgenders face more mental and physical violence, as well as social stigma and discrimination, than any other community.

Today, they occupy many senior positions in respectable jobs.

Now 38, the first transgender employee of the central government is a consultant at the National Backward Classes Finance and Development Corporation under Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
