Yet, disciplinary national laws, policies, and practices targeting transgender people, including complex procedures for changing identification documents, strip transgender people of their rights and limit access to justice. These results will help to achieve transgender dreams. Transender people's experience in India is that of extreme Social exclusion that translates into increased vulnerability to HIV, other diseases, including mental health conditions, limited access to education and employment, and loss of opportunities for economic and social advancement.
