Tamil Nadu goes one step further for creating an inclusive future society!
At #ChennaiPride, I learned that TN Model Schools across all 38 districts celebrated #PrideMonth by educating the school children about gender & sexuality etc
Thanks to @mkstalin@Anbil_Mahesh 🙏

@APunnaivalavan@sivasankar1ss stopped relying on these private buses long time ago. its the same story for buses b/w banglore and south TN. Should plan better and book in govt RTC buses or trains in advance or not travel only 😬.
We live in a highly patriarchal society. I hv done around 200 kidney transplants. My findings in my series:
1. Around 80-90 % of Kidney Transplant Recipients are men. When a woman develops ESRD( Kidney Failure), it is very hard to find a Kidney donor, among the relatives.
2. In my entire career, not even a single husband came forward to donate his Kidney to his sick wife, & save her life.
3. When a woman is a Kidney recipient, the person who donates is usually a sister or daughter, or mother.
4. Most women r ready to offer their kidneys to their ailing husbands to save his life. The converse never happens.
5. There was once an extreme case, when a 19 yr old legal wife, donated her Kidney to her 45 yr old husband. After the Tx, I was casually talking to her. Her story was bizarre. This was her elder sister's husband. Just for Tx, the entire family had planned it carefully. The husband divorced his wife, & the 19 yr old girl was beaten fr days to marry the 45 yr old man, since her Kidney was a perfect match.
So, a simple survey of Kidney Tx recipients & donors exposes how deeply patriarchal, misogynistic, our rotten society is.
Scratch the veneer of democracy, modernity in India, & u find that underneath, we are still a feudal, casteist, misogynistic, patriarchal community.
There is a 13 year old trans girl (amab) child in Chennai who is in urgent need of a foster or adoptive home as none of the shelters are equipped to keep her. She was found on the streets, abandoned by parents. Please inbox if in Tamil Nadu and interested.
