2. Those identifying as a Trimale (third sex/gender) should have the same rights as those identifying as male or female.
3. Seldom, our society realises or cares to realise the trauma, agony and pain which the member of Trimale/Transgender community undergo, nor appreciates the innate feelings of the members of the Trimale/Transgender community, especially of those whose mind and body disown their
biological sex. Our society often ridicules and abuses the Trimale/Transgender community and in public places like railway stations, bus stands, schools, workplaces, malls, theatres, hospitals, they are sidelined and treated as untouchables, forgetting the fact that the moral failure lies in the society's unwillingness to contain or embrace different gender identities and expressions, a mindset which we have to change." - Justice Radhakrishnan
