			Mathematics is effective in everyday life and every period of human civilization. Advancements in science and technology still depend on Mathematics. No branch of knowledge is untouched by mathematics-economics, defence, space science, and recent nanotechnology. Mathematical logic has been used to analyze and solve problems in science and technology and fields such as political, social, economic, and psychological problems. A fuzzy set can be defined mathematically by assigning a value representing its grade of membership in the fuzzy set to each possible individual in the universe of discourse. This paper aims for an interlinking approach of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) to find the problems faced by Transgenders using triangular fuzzy numbers. Section one begins with an introduction, some basic definitions, and previous research for FCM and triangular fuzzy numbers. Section two provides the Mathematical formulation and arithmetic operation of FCM of triangular fuzzy numbers. Section three illustrates the ranking analysis of problems faced by Transgenders using FCM using triangular fuzzy numbers and performs the calculations using the collected data among the Transgenders. Section four describes the Conclusion and some suggestions based on our study.
