Addressing a seminar on transgender rights, CJP Saqib Nisar lamented the discriminatory societal attitude towards the community and said that trans people are separated from families.
“We want to make sure the transgender community gets the same rights in the society as men and women do,” he said.
Justice Nisar also said that court orders regarding the community have helped to restore their honour and standing.
In March, the Senate unanimously approved Transgender Persons Bill, 2017.
In the same month, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government issued driving licences to two transgender persons.
