The transgender community has existed and flourished in the Indian subcontinent for centuries - they are represented in Indian mythology, folklore, and various other art forms. It wasn’t until very recently that transgender individuals in the country were recognised legally - however, we still have a long way to go to ensure that stereotypes, prejudices and discriminatory practices against this community are completely eradicated.
