He completed his studies years before coming out as transgender, and remembers being teased and ostracized by his classmates as a ‘man’.
“I finished my studies in 2015. I joined the institute as a male student. Although I had yet to express my gender identity then, my trans persona was evident through my actions. Many of my fellow students mock me,” he said.
Fighting all the odds, he managed to finish the course and get a first degree.
