Abstract

Transgender is a modern Western term. The word "Transgender" is a combination of two words. Trans means "to move" or "to change", while gender means "sex". The following definition is taken from a United Nations document. A Men or women who deviate from their birth sexual identity and convert their gender Identity. For example, they want to be male or contradictory from a woman, or to be a woman or a male or contradictory or non -sexually man or adopt another modern identity. Some of them resort to medical procedures such as hormone therapy or surgery. They are also called transsexual. And some of them only express gender expression different from their birth gender, i.e., they change shape, cell, clothes, and features. They are also called Cross Dresser. Transgender laws around the world are not designed to protect people who are born transgender or intersex. Because they are born in the same condition medically and physically and statistically their number is very less. In the developed world they do not have the same problems that we have here. Transgender laws in the developed world are designed to protect those who voluntarily change their gender and are not limited to gender choice but extend to sexual orientation. Therefore, homosexuality with transgender is given full protection in the western world. Transgender law, if it is made absolute without including the necessary and Sharia fiefs, is a collection of many forbidden (haram) acts and Islam never allows any Islamic government to implement any such law in its country, rather, implementing and supporting any such law is strictly illegal and forbidden and is a deed that leads to hell.
