It is extremely difficult to establish the identity of a transgender. When I went to the market, people passed comments. Many said that a girl was walking like a boy," Raj said."Despite all the social hurdles, I had submitted an affidavit in the court to be recognised as a transgender. It was extremely difficult to transform my physical identity from female to male. I had applied for the post of constable as a male and I was selected this year. After the training, I have been deployed in the confidential branch in the SP office in Kaimur. I am now getting respect from my fellow colleagues," Raj said."As per the Transgender Protection Act, 2019, any transgender can reveal his identity. In Bihar, there is no place to obtain a transgender certificate. Also, I am unable to change my physical identity in my academic certificates. In the gender column, my gender is put as female in the certificates," he said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
