CHENNAI: It was a day of celebration and reflection, as hundreds of transgenders gathered to observe Transgenders Day on Sunday.
The event was organised by the Murpooku Eluthalarkal Kalaignarkal Sangam in association with many NGOs and CBOs working for the cause of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenders)
Though the transgenders had a formal meeting in the evening, it was like a get-together, where they met old friends and made new ones. The book, History of Transgenders in Tamil Nadu penned by writer-cum-activist, Priya Babu, was released on Sunday.
