Being a transgender person in India has always been a taboo, but after all this time, the transgender community seems to be moving towards a greater acceptance from the mainstream society.

Talking about the changing scenario, Anita Cheria, Director at Open Space, a knowledge institution to support civil society initiatives in social justice and equity, said in a chat with YourStory,

Over the past 20 years, I have witnessed the changing communication pattern between the transgender community and the β€˜mainstream’ society. Earlier, badhai or the celebratory occasion, provided access to this minority community to not only gaze but, also, exchange information with the society in public.

Aarav Appukuttan, a 46-year-old transman, and Sukanyeah Krishna, a 22-year-old transwoman, from Kerala have decided to marry each other despite all the hardship, stigma, and restrictions. The couple has gone through their corresponding gender reassignment surgeries at a clinic in Mumbai recently where they met and fell in love. They are all set to be wed in September.

When Aarav heard Sukanyeah talk to her family on phone at the clinic, he got to know that she was a Malayali too. They started meeting each other and having conversations on phone. Sometime later, Aarav proposed to Sukanyeah.

While Aarav did not face many difficulties in his journey, Sukanyeah had gone through her share of stares, comments and criticism from family, relatives, and society. Aarav too faced embarrassing questions and awkward stares but went on to deal with it with confidence, something he credits his mother with. For Aarav, a smile is always a solution whenever someone asks him questions about his gender. Speaking with The News Minute, Aarav said,

I was always a man in my mind. It was not possible for me to marry as I had the thoughts of a man with the body of a woman. Finally, I took the decision to do what I needed the most β€” the surgery. Now I am as happy as any man who is about to get married. But it was only after the surgery that I was able to make the statement that I am a man. But nobody has humiliated me and I have never undergone any bitter experiences.

Sukanyeah, who works with a software firm in Bengaluru, told The News Minute,

One day, I draped a saree, dressed up exactly like a woman and attended a wedding. It created a lot of problems, but for me, it was an open declaration of my identity. I applied to change my name the very next day I turned 18 and also started procedures for the treatment.

Talking about the wedding ceremony, Aarav told Hindustan Times,

 We wanted a small marriage ceremony, but our friends are asking for a treat. So, we will have a grand wedding.

Amral should visit Corpus Christi, Texas and some major cities in Mexico. He may fell in love and never realize they're transformed women. In Mexico, the sex industry is big competition between real women and unreal women. The women will have to strip naked in front of their clients so they can be sure it's a real woman with the appropriate sexual organ. With this practice, you will not be disappointed to see something that is bigger than yours in a beautiful, slender, woman's body, with breasts made by God himself. Lesson for the night. Lol

This stuff is scary. How the heck am I supposed to know if the woman I am dating was not a man before

If she gets pregnant, then she passes the test. So, get busy -->  

I agree with you but bossman Amral is very smart. He wants to know if the sugar apple is real before tasting it. Now that is very smart.
