Transgender persons in India and other Asian countries are gradually surfacing from the social stigma that continues to relegate them to sub-human levels of existence in society. The short documentaries made by seven transgender women and screened at the Russian Cultural Centre in Chennai bore witness to the fact that given due encouragement and recognition, the transgender population can enhance our social fabric by adding valuable input from their repertoire of skills and talents. These transgender women have used their personal experience to take on other social and sensitive issues setting themselves as an example to the society as 'responsible citizens'.
