Introduction
• Transgender refers to an individual born with typical and
normal female or male anatomies but internally, one feels like
he/she is not wearing the right body.
• Transgender people are born normally but deep inside them,
they feel that they belong to the opposite sex.
• For instance, a person born a man will always feel like woman
whose body has been fitted in a man’s body and vice versa.
• Such people will seek to rectify their status by undergoing a
surgical process to reassign their sexual status (Lev, 2013, pp.
72).

About Transgender People

and Europe are protected by law under the Equality Act.

acquire the desired gender.
• However, in continents like Middle East and Africa, transgender
people can not freely express themselves due to some
restrictions(Allen, 2014, pp. 95).

Transgender Community
• Just like other people of male of female gender, the transgender
people are just normal people.
• The only distinguishing aspect is that transgender people have
undergone sexual reassignment process through surgical
procedures.

person has normal thinking and capability to act and live a
normal life (Mallon, 2017, pp. 107

their religion, language, gender identity, sex orientations, level
of modernization, culture and political affiliation (Lev, 2013, pp.
72).

Transgender Multiculturalism

values, norms and beliefs.

Due to their personalities, most transgender people are soft
tolerate and non-aggressive while some are not.

have different level of understanding to the current global issues

are striving to fit themselves in the society by shaping their
views and opinions and have them counted in the decision
making process (Lev, 2013, pp. 78).

Challenges faced by Transgender People

in trying to establish themselves and stand counted in the
society.
• They are facing much challenges and the society is adamant to
accept them right from the family level (Matthew, 2012).

normal people who have undergone some surgical and hormonal
taking processes to reassign their gender (Mallon, 2017, pp.
103).

Transgender People and other Genders
• Hence, just like any other people from normally accepted
genders, transgender people have normal capability and mental
thinking.
• They have all it takes to be incorporated and accepted freely to
conduct their activities with much freedom.
• For instance, they have good quality education and experience,
various cultures, sex orientations and identity, political
affiliations, religions and languages.

their values and preferences in the society

Inclusion of Transgender People at Workplace
• At the areas of workplace, the management should seek to
embrace diversity and inclusivity.
• The level of performance, productivity and growth of
companies is dictated by the level of having diverse employees
with diverse ideas (Williams, 2015, pp. 180).
• People belonging to transgender community are not different
from the other people belonging to different genders.
• The organizations should accept their input and work within the
companies since they possess the right experiences and
qualifications to work for the organizations
