Meet Dr Manabi Bandopadhyay- India's first transgender College Principal

A transgender person is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. In India, the population of transgender persons is around 4,87,803 with a literacy rate of 57.06% according to the 2011 Census. In 2011, there were 54,854 transgender children below the age of six. In 2016, a residential school for transgender people was opened in the Indian city of Kochi, to help adults who dropped out of school finish their education. In 2022, a report on the students enrolled in schools across India shows transgender participation at just 61,214 students. Trans people have existed across all classes, races and castes. But their recognition has always come at a cost, with an added struggle. However, progressive court judgments and reformative legislations are bringing an inclusive approach and a positive shift in perspective. In 2014, the Supreme Court in a landmark judgment upheld transgenders’ right to equality and equal protection by prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity. #transgenderinterview #transgender #manabibandopadhyay #transgenderindia #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia
