Grace Banu on how transgender lives have changed 10 years after NALSA

In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled on a writ filed by the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), stating that the government, both at the state and Centre, must grant full legal recognition to transgender individuals.That judgment, in many ways, helped pave the way for the landmark Section 377 verdict. But ten years on, how much of the promise of that verdict has been realized in practice for the transgender community? To answer this question, Sandip is joined by Dalit and transgender rights activist Grace Banu.Grace is India's first transgender engineer and the founder of the Trans Rights Now Collective.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawat
