The first annual Miss India contest, a beauty pageant for transgender women, will be held on Dec. 19 in Chennai, the Times of India reported Sept. 2.
India's non-profit organizations are coming together to plan the event in the hopes that it will unite the community and battle social stigma against transgender people in the country.
