Indian Transgender Shopkeeper Harassed by Locals ⚧️😥
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2020-10-19

In a recent incident, a transwoman from Kerala, has been harassed for selling biryani. Sajana Shaji had been trying to make ends meet during the pandemic by selling biryani. Shaji was managing to make a living and had even provided employment to four other transwomen. For over a month, however, local shopkeepers and vendors had been spreading rumours about the quality of her biryani. A tearful Shaji said in a Facebook Live stream that her shop usually sold 300 packets of biryani a day, but now could only sell 20. She said, "People keep asking us [transwomen] to work and live a decent life, instead of begging on trains and roaming the streets at night. But if the society does not allow us to work respectfully, then what are we supposed to do?"
