Karim Nagar: Five female members of the transgender community are preparing for a fight for equality with the sole goal of living a life of dignity by packing government jobs. Five of them have actually passed the first hurdle and passed the preliminary examination for police recruitment conducted by the state government. A fitness test is the next hurdle.
While four of them are eligible to take the exam to be recruited as constables, one has already taken his first steps towards his dream of becoming a deputy police inspector. Since there is no separate category for transgender people, they apply under the male category, and most of them have male names on their SSC certificates.
Now, since the timing of the physicals was announced, they are ready to put pressure on the authorities, inspired by the story of K Prithika Yashini of Tamil Naidubon, who became the first transgender woman in the country to become transgender. Deputy Inspector of Police. Nandini, who is one of the five who will attend a medical in Warangal on December 9, pointed out that Yassini has moved the pitch and finally achieved her goal, saying that if they are not allowed to go to any degree , they are all ready for the medical examination.
Reiterating their determination, another member of the group, Sravya, who qualified for the medical examination after scoring 72 in the preliminary test, said it was impossible for them to compete with men in the medical examination because so many changes had taken place while undergoing gender-affirming surgery. in their bodies.
So, as soon as the call for the police came out, they asked the police superiors to reserve the women’s line separately, because the physical examination could not compete with men. Officials asked them to apply first, promising to look into the matter later, according to Sravya.
“Instead of being humiliated at a fundraiser, it is better to join the government and live a dignified life. However, the chances are slim, but we are determined to fight,” she said.
