00:30When I reached South Africa, I disclosed my identity through social medias and all.

00:46So my relatives and neighbours knew that I'm a trans person.

00:53Then they intimidated my parents and my neighbours started complaining about my gender identity.

01:04Even my brother got bullied in his school for this reason.

01:10It was so hard for me when I was in South Africa, they stopped sending me the fees for

01:16my flying.

01:39So I was so depressed and the problem was that they treated me like a mad person.

01:51They took me through a lot of counselling sessions and they did a lot of correction

01:58treatments by taking me to the hospital.

02:00And the doctors, the psychiatrists suggested an entirely wrong treatment, they suggested

02:06me to inject estrogen, more female hormone to correct my gender identity.

02:14But I told them that it is my identity, I'm who I am, I cannot correct it, it's my gender

02:23identity.

02:24But they were not willing to hear my side.

02:28I was going through the physical and mental torture for one year.

02:33Then I decided to escape from this trauma.

02:37Then I ran from my home at the age of 19 to Karnataka.

02:52When I went out of my home, I was not scared because I was only scared, at that time I

03:02was only scared of my parents and at that time I just wanted to live my life as who I am.

03:21When a channel made a story about me, I got a call from the cyberware department.

03:52I got a response from my parents through the

04:21local party members.

04:24They contacted my parents, the political members, and my parents said that they cannot accept me.

04:34Even if he gets the entire support from the universe, we are not ready to accept.

04:50That's what they said.

04:52Still I'm expecting that they will accept me one day as their child, as their son.
