Abstract
The term gender has been increasingly used to distinguish between sex as biological and gender as socially and culturally constructed (Emily Esplen and Susie Jolly, 2006). Transsexual individuals were born biologically male or female, but live their lives to varying degrees as the opposite gender. Gender identity refers to an individual’s self-identification a smale, female, or other. Male and female are extremes on the gender continuum and many transgender people identify as somewhere in the middle, or gender variant.The aim of study is to evaluate the health status, social problems, economic issues and political measures with special reference to male to female transsexuals in Karnataka State not asa means of enquiry, but as a support to transsexuals’ development closely woven with it.
