Gender role conflict theory explains transgender individuals fail to abide by the stereotypical norms of the
society and experience gender role conflicts. Moving away from the traditional masculine role, transfeminine
individuals suffer from conflicts that reduces their psychological well-being. Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis (IPA) using a constructive paradigm with epistemological assumptions was used in the current study.
A purposive sample of 4 transfeminine transgender individuals was selected, and in-depth semi-structured
interviews were carried out; responses to questions were recorded, transcribed and sifted into categories and
themes using IPA. Seven major themes emerged from gender conflict experiences of transgender individuals;
experiencing unwanted self, psychological effects on health, feeling of worthlessness, developmental
differences, emotional reactions and experiences, source of humiliation, and positive perception of life. The
study gives an insight into the psychological problems of transfeminine transgender persons. This research has
great implications for psychologists to create awareness of the psychological issues of this marginalized
community.
