Abstract: Gender variants exists from ancient time itself under various colloquial nomenclatures. Over the years, though transgenders become more socially visible,they are ostracised in many aspects.Though Kerala has made many remarkable initiatives in this regard, the social sphere still demonstrates an awkward attitude towards gender minorities. In order to explore the issues and challenges faced by transgenders in Kerala, a qualitative grounded theory approach was used. Qualitative data were explored through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions among 21 transgender and five stakeholders as with the attainment of theoretical saturation. A theoretical framework was formulated and the data were arranged under 8 themes. Our evolved model conveyed remedies atvarious levels to tackle major issues experienced by them.

Key words: Transgenders, Kerala, issues, challenges.
