Abstract

The Third Gender has been receiving a negative attitude and have been stigmatised to the periphery as social outcasts. The stigma is so evolved and entangled universally and within the minority itself that removing stigma from their own community is a Herculean task to perform. The insight of providing them a brighter future moulds in us the abstinence of criticality and the empathetic acceptance of every individual in whatever least biased way as possible.
