As far as they are concerned, they are dressing according to \u2018their own gender identity; Provide barrier free access to public transport, health services, and public places. Guidelines in this regard should be framed. There should be a mechanism for these guidelines to be followed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to ensure that the TGs lead a decent life, State TG Welfare Board and district TG welfare committees, are to be established under the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala by way of a legislative act.
