Not sure if this is the most appropriate forum, but here goes...

Gazal Dhaliwal, Indian trans woman and screenwriter, speaks about what it means to be a woman.

Wow. Just wow. I'm glad she's a writer. Someone who can so accurately capture the essence of transition, would be wasted on any other profession.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Suzi, I agree. But before her transition, she was an engineer working in IT, like so many other 'good Indian boys'.
You can also see another talk by her here:

Kate, I agree that she doesn't 'look trans' at all, and that's something she talks about in the second video ("Telling the right story") as well.
