A Comparative Literature Review of the Contribution of Transgender Rights in the Legal Context of India and Sri Lanka

Abstract

Discrimination against any condition that a person acquires on their birth goes beyond the criteria of equality. The society has long created different social conditions for these two parties based on gender difference that has been biologically available to both men and women. Transgender people have identities different from the gender that corresponds to the sex organs determined at birth. The study is based on evaluating the level of contribution to establishing transgender social rights within legal systems of India and Sri Lanka. In comparison, transgender people have a stronger historical presence in India than in Sri Lanka. It is observed that the international legal context of transgender rights makes a positive contribution to gender orientation and gender identity. The legitimacy of American realism, sociological and natural law schools can also emphasize the legitimacy of securing transitional social rights. Accordingly, the statutory authorities and the Sri Lanka community should contribute to the expeditious preparation of legal provisions to develop transgender social rights while upholding the Indian legal position.
