Pakistan, since its independence, has failed to ensure fundamental rights to the transgender community. This marginalized community was deprived of their gender identity, education, health facilities, access to public rights, and employment. Although the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2018 is on point, various segments of society are making it controversial claiming it to be promoting same-sex marriages or LGBT. The study employs analytical and descriptive research methods to present a clearer picture of the newly enacted Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2018. Analysis of the Act provides that Gender Identity and Gender Self-Perception were long-awaited and most celebrated by the Transgender Community to exercise the rights enshrined under the Constitution. Moreover, there are some challenges in the effective implementation of these rights such as issues regarding voting and political participation, kinship, inheritance, gender identity and marriage. The study presents a pragmatic approach to resolving such outstanding issues.
