        abstract = {Gender dysphoria, psychological distress and social strain were examined in the current study. A total of 68 transgender was participated in the study using convenience sampling. Data was computed using quantitative techniques. A positive significant correlation was observed between psychological distress and social strain, but no significant correlation was found between psychological distress and gender dysphoria. 50 percent participants fell into the range of gender dysphoria. Findings reveal that the psychological distress experienced by transgender had a significant, positive relationship with social strain rather than gender dysphoria. Participants accounted various psycho-socio-cultural aspects causing psychological distress that impacted their day-to-day lives more negatively than gender identity conflicts.},
