Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, better known as Trin-Trin, is a Trans-woman and a Doctor. To have a look at her struggles of being a woman in a man’s body is a concept here in India that might sound next to impossible, but fighting all the odds this trans-woman has dealt with it all. After completing her MBBS, she decided to add a feather to her hat by earning the position of Karnataka’s first trans-woman doctor.
Trinetra has undergone many struggles, and rejections from society and family initially. In addition to that, she had to deal with name callings and titles which the society doesn’t shy away from calling out. But, overcoming all struggles, she fought and stood up for herself. Being titled as ‘Doctor’ has indeed helped her to shut many mouths. She took the decision of joining the group of transgender women who are in the process of making it big which helped her get positive inspiration.
She has documented her transition journey on her YouTube channel – The Trinetra Method. She has a tremendous following on social media but alongside she has faced numerous online harassment. She has endured a lot of online harassment and is fighting to educate these trollers with the help of the LGBTQ community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer).
In the hopes of humanizing the community to the general public, she initiated a move to help remove the bridge gap and help society to understand transgender individuals.

“Paint us in one large brush stroke, I dare you, saffron or otherwise – you forget we’ve gone to war unarmed on the battlegrounds of our own skins. We’ve reigned triumphant. We’ve built armors from the carnage. We won’t back down. You attempt to erase our validity by playing identitty-identitty with your draconian acts, you constantly screw with our existence. You forget we’re war goddesses. We’ll meet you with resistance.” ~ Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju
