Transgender frequently called as eunuchs in English (rather misleadingly). They are in fact male, dress in feminine clothes and usually see themselves as a different gender. This third gender is neither men nor women but, nonetheless, are creature of same almighty God. At the present time, third gender are no longer on back seat. They are not less than any male or female of our society.
In this article I am sharing few successful transgender stories, who got name and fame across the world. By their own capability, they reserve their place in the society and left no reason to be out cast.
Here are some examples which definitely give more optimistic outlook about them:

Equal Opportunities to Third Gender by Andhra Government

Conclusion
We all, male, female or any third gender are member of same society. The saddest part, it is our poor society’s problem that it only recognizes and divided into two sexes i.e male or female.
Hardly ever, anyone of our society feels or cares to realize the suffering and pain which the members of Transgender community go through. No one understand the natural feeling of the members of the Transgender community. Our society often mocks and abuses the Transgender community.
In public places like railway stations, bus stands, schools, workplaces, malls, theatres, hospitals, they are treated as untouchables. But we should not forget the fact that the moral failure lies in the society’s refusal to accept different gender identities, a state of mind which we need to change.
