This article talks about the concept of transgender individuals. There are many people
who lead their lives under confusion. Padawer (2014) is of the opinion that these people are
unsure about their sexual orientation. However, society does not always provide ample support
to people who want to transform their gender from male to female or vice versa. The article talks
about a college called Wellesley colleges that gave admission to the trans people.

she could transform into a man.

students. He felt bad but at the same time, he wanted to stick to this place as it was a kind of
home to him. Wellesley was circulating these discriminations even in their dorms and their
