We reported about the 19-year old transman who was brought to India by his parents on the false pretext of meeting his ailing grand-mother and was then being kept in Agra forcefully to “fix him”, as his parents disapproved of his trans-identity and wanted to groom him into a “cultured girl”.

Nazariya, a queer feminist collective and resource group in New Delhi, which helped Shivy escape from the ordeal, has posted an appeal by Shivy to his parents, relatives and the police, where he recounts the complete ordeal.
