Arina Alam is a 24 year old transgender woman from a small village of Murshidabad. Arina has a blog: "Diary of Muslim Transgender Girl." She is a contributor at Feminism in India. She feels that her character is mostly misunderstood. She only has unconditional love from very few people. Therefore she wants to offer compassion, kindness and patience to those who need it, as a form of love.
