Abstract:
Gender refers to the cultural attributes given by society. A family
typically refers to individuals united by blood, marriage, adoption, or
cohabitation, living together in a household and sharing resources and responsibilities.
Gender identity and sexual orientation have an influence on family dynamics in a very
complex way. Transgender individual often navigates through a complex journey of
self-discovery, coming out, and acceptance, which profoundly affects their familial
relationships.
This research paper aims to explore the intricate interplay between transgender
individual and his family through an empirical study, shedding light on the
multifaceted dynamics that shape their experiences.
