‘Mam was willing to lose everything to support my transit identity in Tamil Nadu’.

In 2019, Srija became the first gender to be married in Tamil Nadu, India after a historic trial. It is now a new documentary called Pride of Ama, the Srija War for the state’s recognition of her marriage and her unchangeable support for her mother, Valley.

“Srijah is a gift,” Vali, 45, told the BBC.

“I know all the people of Transise what I don’t have,” said 25-year-old Srijay,

“My study, my job, I’m married – everything was done because of my mother’s support.

He and his mother tell the story of Amma’s pride for the first time, who follows Srijah’s unique experience.

In 2017, Srija met her future husband in a temple, after they found out they had a common friend, soon began to send letters to each other regularly. He used to be outside as a race and began to move.

“We talked a lot. He secretly talked about his experiences as a transit woman,” Aaron told the BBC.

They fell in love for a few months and decided to live together.

“We wanted legal confessions because we want a normal life like every other husband and wife,” Srija said. “We want all the protections that come from the recognition of the marriage law.

That unites his guarantees, such as transferring money or property if one of the spouses dies.

In 2014, the Indian Supreme Court established some racist protectors who gave him equal rights to education, employment, health care and marriage. India still doesn’t allow homosexual marriage.

It is not known how many transparent couples are married in India, or who was the first. Activists say at least one of the transmission wedding ceremony was legally recorded before Srija and Aaron in

“Of course, the wives of the skirts, or a gender-based husband, are across India,” said Ama’s honorary director, Shiva Krish.

Srija and Aaron’s attempt to record the wedding in 2018 was rejected, the recorder said that the Hindu marriage law defined marriage in 1955 as a union between the bride and the groom, so they did not include transparent women.

But the couple supported by LGBT activists pushed them and took their relationship to the public area. The attempt was worth it.

In 2019, they took the world attention when the Supreme Court of Madras confirmed the right to marriage and said that racist people must be recognized as the “bride” or “drought” as defined in the Hindu wedding law in 1955.

The decision was seen by LGBT activists as a major step in accepting racist people in India, both of which were well known as cultural norms at the local level.

But media coverage summoned negative investigations.

“One day after covering local news, I was fired from my job,” said Aaron, who worked as a worker in the transport sector. He believes it was because of transporta.

Online truly followed it.

“People have sent a message of violence that they criticized me for marrying a gender woman,” he said.

The couple briefly separated under pressure.

In addition, Srija was successful in her studies, often in high school in class.

He later graduated from Tamil Nadu University in English literature and became one of the only ones in his family who received higher education.

It is a source of pride for Vali, who has left the age of 14.

Even before fighting for the state to be recognized by the state, Srija and her family faced hostility and misconduct.

After Srija came out at the age of 17 as a gender-based woman, she, her mother and her younger brother were evicted from their house by their owners.

Several family members stopped talking to them.

But Srija’s mother and brother have resisted in support.

“I’m always standing next to my daughter,” Vali says.

“Everyone should be supported by their family.

Valley, who died when her husband died, when Srija was only six years old, she worked in a restaurant.

But despite earning a small income, he helped to redefine his daughter’s gender, partly by selling some of her jewelers, and then paying attention to it.

“He’s aware of me,” Srija said.

It is thought that there are about two million transgender people in India, the most population in the world, although activists say the number is higher.

While the country has passed the Trans-Englist Act and recognizes a “third sex” in law, there is still oppression and discrimination.

Studies have shown that gender-based people in India face high rates of misuse, mental health problems, and restrictions on education, employment and health care. Most of them are forced to beg or enter into sexual work.

Globally, the United Nations says a significant number of transgendered people will face rejection by their families.

“Not people in India, or even the world, don’t have the support of their families,” said Shiva Krish.

“Srija and Valley are unique.

Srija says she hopes the film will help challenge the conservative species about transit people and the types of stories that are often raised in the media about the group—especially those who focus on oppression.

“This documentary shows that we can be a leader. I am a manager, I am a productive member of the labor force,” Srija said.

“When people see new types of stories about transit people, we hope their thoughts will be changed.

After the first international festivals, Pride at a special demonstration in Chenai, for members of the LGBT and allies, to celebrate the World Vision Day on Monday, March

After Chena screening, a workshop was held in which the participants of the small groups talked about receiving families and community support for transit people.

“We hope that our screening events will educate the relationships between the transit individuals, their families and local communities,” said Tana Jiaram, another filmmaker behind Ama’s pride.

Amma’s honorary production team hopes that the comprehensive theme of family support against oppression means that documentaries and workshops can be implemented for rural audiences, as well as other cities in India and neighboring countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh.

As for Srija and Aaron, they are now working as managers for private companies and they hope to raise a child soon. “We are in the hope of a normal future,” Srija said.

“I’d like to be a grandmother soon,” Valley said.
