For the first time in history, a city in India has elected a transgender Mayor.
she’s also a Dalit woman please don’t forget this
Her name is Madhu Kinnar
sweet!
Actually labelling madhu by the female gender is incorrect, madhu is a hijra person. The hijra people are neither male nor female, and do not conform to a single gender. They have said to identify as a “third gender”. So while it is extremely important to celebrate the victory and recognition of a person who is both dalit and non-binary, labelling madhu as a transgender woman is misgendering.
