Under the quantitative approach of study, the correlational design of there search was employed to evaluate the affiliation amid personal networking and social well being. Systematic sampling techniques and strategy were used to collect data of 350 transgender people having age ranges (18-60) years from four different zones of Lahore, the capital city of Punjab province, in Pakistan. Sample size, inclusion, and exclusion characteristics were considered while selecting a sample of the study. De Jong Gierveld Scale for social well being was used to measure various attributes of the social circle. A merged scale of Russel for loneliness, personal networking,and Lubben Social Networking scale was used to measure the personal networking of Transgender.
