BANGALORE: When Kalki Subramaniam, founder-director of the Sahodari foundation (an organisation to support transgenders), launched a matchmaking site recently -- the world's first it has been said -- exclusively for transsexual women, she showed the world that the voices against the injustice are getting louder.

Although the site www.thirunangai.net is catering to Tamils as of now, it has spread a glimmer of hope to the community in our city too. Shubha Chacko, a name which has alomost become synonymous with Sangama, says, "This is very important as it shows there are various possibilities to be explored to help the community. The transgenders have no space available for them and it is great that this site, by a member of the community, is responding to the needs of the community." Modern technology to address the age-old issue is a welcome move, Shubha says.
