This Pride Month, Transgender India founder Neysara joined Alyse Nelson to discuss the struggle transgender people in India go through to not only come out and become their authentic selves, but to be considered human by their families, their communities and their governments. From threats on their lives to losing their personhood to laws that don’t punish offenses against them, Neysara provides perspective on what trans people must confront.
