A site tries making the impossible look within reach — it facilitates tansgender marraiges

Thenmozhi, Priyababu, Deepika, Priya E, Sowmiya and Sowmiya G, may have sought the help of a matrimonial website to find their future life partners, but their demands are quite straightforward. All they want is someone who will not discriminate against them based on their gender identity, class, caste and religion. A tough call considering the fact that all aforementioned individuals are transsexual, and the website where they have uploaded their profile, www.thirunangai.net (http://www.thirunangai.net), is the world's first matrimonial website for "transsexual women". "Transsexual women by birth may not be physically women. But by soul and heart, we are real women. Later in our journey towards completeness, we go through innumerable struggles. And only those who are courageous, succeed," says Kalki, founder member of the website.
