Pandemic or no pandemic, transgender people are among the most heavily affected by social and financial vulnerability. I spoke to four people to get insight on their realities of how COVID-19 restrictions are affecting them. Arun Karthick, a trans man and healthcare worker from Chennai, Kiran Nayak, trans man and activist from Bengaluru, S Veena, a trans activist from Bengaluru, and Sanchayita Ruth Lenin, a writer and volunteer from Silchar, Assam who has been working closely with the trans community there. This is a small fraction of their words about the current situation. I will be releasing full individual videos soon.
