INTRODUCTION In English language the word Eunuchs used for “Tran‟s” which is derived from Greek word “Eune‟ which means bed and „Ekhein‟ which means to keep, the combining means is “Bed Keeper‟[1]. Mostly known as Khwaja Sira, albeit with many pejorative variants for their personal and social identity, transgender persons have long been a vulnerable group in Pakistan. Unlike the narrow understanding of a transgender person in terms of biological anomalies, World Health Organization (WHO) defines this state of gender as: “Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity and expression does not conform to the norms and expectations traditionally associated with the sex assigned to them at birth; it includes people who are transsexual, transgender or otherwise considered gender non-conforming” *1 . Tran‟s is “Vast” word which indicates those people who are different by sexual characters as well behaviorally from other members of the society by birth or socially and physically converted [2]. Likewise, transgender is a person who‟s personal and gender identity is not confirmed and contradicting with female or male gender. Transgender actually means an individual who is not completely female or male. It means that this specific type of people belongs to a third gender which is known as transgender [3]. Transgender is excluded since the dawn of history. There are so many Islamic countries around the globe whereas, Pakistan is one of them. Shari laws encouraging and supporting equal rights for all humans while according to media reports and surveys founded that Pakistani state itself along with other Non- governmental Organizations (NGOs) they‟re ignoring transgender rights, which is against the Islamic and human rights laws [4]. Third genders have prominent role in our social life particularly in ceremonies, likewise engagements, weddings, birthday‟s parties and some rituals. Beside this, there are so many different names which are used for transgender in our Pakistani society like Murata, Khawaja Sara, Khusra etc
