Making Women, Making Men-Rachana
Workshop
2.0 hrs
July 28, 2019 2:00 pm Sunday

Are 'male' and 'female' the only ways in which we can identify human beings? Are they 'natural' and 'fixed' for life? How does the society decide who is what? And why is it so intolerant to people who want to mess with, shift or change their birth based gender? Does the world get messed up if we have many genders? 

Rachana Mudraboyina is a transgender rights activist from Hyderabad. She is the founder member of Telangana Hijra Intersex Transgender Samiti and also the founder of Trans-Vision, a youtube channel where she is also the writer and director of its web series.
