This study is based on social acceptance issues of transgenders in Pakistan. Gender non binary groups gained more visibility after the Supreme Court decision to recognize them as the third gender to give them their due rights. Despite the Supreme Court verdict, the third gender group continues to face stigmatization and is unable to participate in normal social and economic lives available to the majority of people in Pakistan. Through in-depth interviews of 25 transgenders, this article analyzes the different social and institutional biases faced by khawaja siras after their identity disclosure. The labeling theory and symbolic interactionism are used as theoretical framework. The findings indicate that the khawaja sira community faces exclusion because society does not recognize them as a separate gender identity beyond gender binary (male-female dichotomy). For this reason, transgenders have to hide their true identity under the cover of either fake male or female. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
