Transmasculine persons advocacy in India
Our founders are among the first visible trans men in India to boldly raise awareness and advocate for the unique challenges faced by trans masculine individuals. Trans men, often overlooked in the broader LGBTQ+ discourse, encounter a range of societal and systemic obstacles, including gender-based discrimination, limited access to gender-affirming healthcare, and the erasure of their experiences in mainstream narratives. These challenges are compounded by stereotypes and misunderstandings about masculinity, which often fail to account for the diverse realities of trans men. The representation of trans masculine individuals is crucial not only for the visibility of their struggles but also for fostering a more inclusive society. When trans men are represented authentically in media, policy, and leadership, it challenges harmful gender norms and empowers future generations to live openly and confidently. We are committed to continuing this vital work, ensuring that trans masculine voices are heard, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive.
Raising awareness against Conversion Therapy
Inclusion of trans persons in education & employment
At Misfyt, we advocate for inclusive spaces where trans individuals can thrive in the workforce. Our goal is to create lasting change, ensuring that trans voices are heard and respected in all sectors. Workplaces should be safe and inclusive for everyone, with policies that prevent discrimination, harassment, and violence. Equal employment opportunities must be available to trans people, fostering careers in respectful environments.
The fight for trans rights is a human rights issue. We call on those in power to recognize the dignity of trans individuals and work toward a future where trans people are essential contributors to a diverse and thriving workforce. Through collaboration and advocacy, we can create a more inclusive society.
Through our work we support the rights of horizontal reservation for trans people and advocate for more employment for the trans community in all workspaces
