Call for emotional support mechanism for transgender community
The Hindu
Stress laid on creating awareness within the group about handling complexities of relationships
The alleged suicide by two transwomen in Ernakulam in a little over two months has brought into focus the absence of a mechanism for emotional support for a vulnerable community.
Anannyah Kumari Alex, 28, Kerala’s first transwoman jockey, was found hanging in her apartment at Edappally on July 20. Two days later, her partner Jiju Raj was found dead in similar circumstances at his friend’s home.
Sradha, 22, was the latest to be found hanging in a rented apartment at Ponekkara near Elamakkara in the early hours of September 29.
