Speaking to TOI, NGOs claim that most transgender citizens don’t have identity cards. And they continue to suffer on the educational front as going to schools will make them vulnerable to discrimination.

The Supreme Court of India had recognised transgenders as the “third gender” in the year 2014, for the first time. However, the TOI report goes on to state that according to a survey conducted by an NGO in Delhi, it was found out that most of transgenders were deprived of mainstream employment and they continue to battle with their identity.
