Discussion & Gender : Rewriting The Rulebook
About this event
Dr. Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju is a trailblazing actor, viral content creator, and vocal advocate for transgender rights. She is known to be Karnataka’s first transgender doctor, and one of the first in India to digitally document her transition. Through her content, Trinetra sheds light on her life experiences, and transition journey, tackling misconceptions and stigma surrounding the queer and trans communities. A passionate advocate, she has also provided gender and sexuality sensitization to the Madras High Court, contributing to landmark orders protecting queer rights.

In this edition, Shaili Chopra joins Trinetra to talk about identity and transition: the courage it takes to live visibly as your truest self, the loneliness and liberation that come hand in hand with being a trailblazer, and what it really means to claim your place in spaces that weren’t built with you in mind.
