Banning a whole community for religious purposes based on genitalia and physical appearance (in this case especially) makes no sense, considering that, historically, members of the transgender community have been caretakers of the Kaaba. In addition, the transgender community has possessed proper identities, cultures, traditions and rituals for centuries. For example, they have their own language that stretches from Nepal to Iran and their culture has been sustained for years. Even during the Mughal era, the transgender community did not have to face societal stigma. They were treated with respect and had equal opportunities when it came to matters of income; they had special roles in royal courts. However, the modern society has marginalised them, along with putting their existence in danger, to the point that they face discrimination in every sphere of society.
