Transgender Issues we work on

Documentation problems

During and after transitioning from male to female or female to male, transsexual people have problems in legally getting accepted in their new identities. Even after SRS, and getting a certificate from the surgeon, it is a cumbersome process in getting a new family card, voter’s id card, drivers license or a passport. For transsexuals who have done a penectomy and not an SRS, it is even more complicated and difficult.

Thanks to the Tamilnadu government, it is has started to issue ID cards for transsexual people. This will help us in many ways. However, there is still a debate within the transsexual community if they should be identified as a third gender or be included in women. The choice must be the community’s.

ffer these skills to transgender people who have interest but do not have the opportunity.
