Despite efforts like the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 in India, which provides legal protections and promotes rights, discrimination persists. This study explores the socio-economic exclusion of transgender individuals through a qualitative analysis of data collected from 50 respondents in Secunderabad, Telangana. The findings highlight pervasive discrimination in education, employment, and housing, resulting in underemployment and financial instability. Many participants reported involvement in sex work or begging, often due to workplace discrimination or lack of opportunities. The study underscores the need for inclusive policies, skill training, and societal acceptance to improve access to education and employment. Addressing these challenges requires legal protections, healthcare access, and education campaigns to reduce prejudice. These measures can foster supportive environments and enable transgender individuals to pursue their aspirations without fear or discrimination.</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Keywords:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"> Transgender, Discrimination, Socio-economic Exclusion</span></p>
