BANGALORE: Lack of medical help and government welfare schemes is plaguing the transgender community. To top it all, indiscriminate use of hormone tablets without doctors' help poses a huge threat to their health.

Founder of Sahodari Foundation of Transgender Women, Kalki, spoke to TOI about the plight of the community which is craving for attention. She received an award from Ladies Circle India on Friday for her contribution to the community.

Elegantly dressed and articulate, Kalki says the international community has to learn how transgenders are making path-breaking changes in society. Excerpts from an interview:
