        abstract = {Transgenders have a gender expression that is different from the sex they were allotted at the time of birth. They can be defined based on their physical and psychological appearance. In this study, transgenders based on their physical behavior has been considered only.  In India, as per the Government, transgenders are very well recognized as third gender and secure every right. But reality is far away from the law. As a society, this community is still outcasted and depriving of their fundamental rights. They are struggling in almost every prime sector. Present study focuses on the youth’s intentions to accommodate them. Specifically, gender wise study has been planned to get insights which gender is more welcoming to their existence in day-to-day normal life socially. A detailed questionnaire regarding various issues faced by transgender has been floated among the youth of Indore city of India. Based on the responses, perspectives of males and females have been analysis theoretically as well as statistically. Findings show that overall females are more welcoming and open to accept them as third gender in day-to-day life. Interesting finding shows that both genders oppose their (transgenders) discrimination in the society but males are still not as much comfortable as females. Though the study has been carrying out in Indore, results are local, and it will be unfair to generalize these finding nationally/globally. Highly promising result found is that females have their consent if transgenders are offered to use female washrooms.},
