The next day, 19th August, was the seminar. Professors, students and everyone at the college were warm. In the morning session, I gave them a complete understanding of transgenderism and third gender issues. The students came up with a lot of questions and it made me really happy to know their interests and concern on the transcommunity.

In the afternoon, I gave them a powerpoint presentation 'Trans and Proud' followed by a short film screening 'Achu pizhai'. After this, we had another question and answer session.

At the end of the day, I had broken whatever irrational beliefs they had on the transgendered community. They were very understading and supportive. It was an important meeting for me. A very satisfying one. These students when they come out of the college and work for the NGOs, they knew how to communicate and help the transgender community with respect.
