NEW DELHI: “The police refused to register my FIR under ‘transmen’. They said they would either register it under the category of a ‘man’ or ‘woman’. They did not accept any of my documents. I felt the fear of being subjected to transphobia,” said Yuvaan Bag at the first all-India Transmen and Transmasculine Persons Summit held on Sunday to look at the challenges faced by transmen across the country.
Assigned the female gender at birth, transmen in India face invisibility, high amount of gender-based violence from families and discrimination in society.
