Often when the era demands for more level of financial independence from each individual, the case of trans gender person is exceptionally serious as more often they are not able to free themselves financially due to the constraints laid down by the society explicitly and the implicit Trans phobia present here. They are prone easily to socio economic vulnerabilities due to the underlying heaps of stereotypes that people possess that marginalize them from the mainstream.
