Abstract

This research paper, titled “Beyond the Binary: The Social Struggles and Resilience of Transgender Lives in a Cisnormative World,†critically examines the lived experiences of transgender individuals navigating a society fundamentally structured by cisnormative norms. Cisnormativity—the assumption that all individuals identify with the gender assigned to them at birth—functions as an invisible yet powerful force shaping institutional practices, social expectations, and interpersonal interactions. Within this framework, transgender people often face significant challenges, including social exclusion, discrimination, healthcare disparities, legal invisibility, and violence. However, this paper does not solely focus on victimization; it also highlights the resilience, resistance, and agency demonstrated by transgender individuals in response to these systemic barriers.
