How to serve the transgender community in a better way, so that they can live with pride & dignity in society?

THE PRESENT ACT: There is only one provision in the Constitution of India for these people, i.e. 377. Section 377 of the IPC can never be the right provision for them. It only permits them for homosexuality and not at all overcomes their basic problems or the requirements of employment, self-employment, and living with pride and honor in the society. Article 14, 15, 19 & 21 states equal rights to every citizen of India but are not applicable to these people? Why they are entreated in today’s independent and republic Nation? This question is always unanswered……. Section 377 is not their necessity but they are in need of equal rights, love & dignity in the society. Efforts must be taken by the government to frame some other sections for them which will meet their purpose, survival and existence. THEIR PROBLEMS: They encounter a lot of tribulations like jobs, status, marriage, education, business and much more. There is no provision in the Indian constitution for these people. They don’t get job nor can they start any small business to fill their hunger. Their family is embarrassed on them and unknowingly they are detached from their family. Even the society curses them and looks them from an angle of vulgar ness. As a result they feel very insecure and join their own community satisfactorily. But there are no income sources to them and unwillingly they entreat everywhere and are also forced to sell themselves to meet their hunger. Why this is happening in our society? The question remains unanswered and many don’t feel necessary to speak on this issue. THEIR PERSONAL LIFE: To understand the various problems & troubles of transgender or eunuch community, one should definitely speak the family in which these people are born. They are born as males and the symptoms of eunuch ness are noticed between the age of 12 to 15 or 16. The society starts to curse them immediately after knowing their situation. And if the concern person is in schooling or in college, he is ultimately forced to give up education. The family of such person tries everything to bring them back, but nothing can exist before a natural misfortune. Slowly their family too gets annoyed with them & as such they feel very insecure even in the society and their family. Ultimately they prefer staying with their community people for security reasons. They belong to all the castes and creed and also celebrate all the festivals of our nation. They are the citizens of India without equal rights, why? Why can’t they come up shoulder to shoulder with the other citizens? The reason is only because of no existing laws for them in the Indian constitution. They don’t have any income sources for them and ultimately they have to plead, dance & sell themselves for starve. (THIS SITUATION IS GOING IN OUR INDEPENDENT & REPUBLIC INDIA) One can’t imagine a situation when ones childhood friend starts teasing and abusing the other when he knows he knows about the other’s eunuch ness. How it feels…..No one can understand….. This is one of the many other severe problems in our nation & I think that someone should start sweeping. I’m ready to sweep, provided the support of our honorable dignitaries and the government. Can anyone tell me the ways and means to serve these downtrodden society for long long years? Can anyone join me in my mission? Many e-mails, letters etc have been already been forwarded to various ministries like Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Bombay High Court, Supreme Court of India, National Human Rights Commission and many many more, but not yet attended by any them for whatsoever may be the reason.
