Transgender Actor

Transgender actors are often performing in traditional theater and quasi-amateur plays in India. There are theater collectives that feature transgender actors exclusively. In more recent times, transgender communities are using theater as a powerful vehicle for self-expression, enhancing social awareness, and advocacy. This image of an actor was taken in Varanasi, India.*
