India’s support towards the LGBTQ community is growing by leaps and bounds since the last year.

Right from scrapping of Section 377 in 2018 to celebrating Pride Month and giving identity cards to trans women to adding reservation in Government Jobs, the support towards the community is increasing everyday.

Another act defining the same is when the state of Telangana got 2 transgender clinics recently.

As per reports, the two trans clinics are part of the Union government’s plans to have exclusive transgender clinics in different metropolitan cities.

This initiative is part of the Transgender Persons Act of 2019. Hyderabad’s first two clinics are expected to extend the reach to other part of India as well. 

Trans activist Rachana Mudraboyina told Telangana Today Hyderabad is the starting point of this initiative since the rate of HIV among transgender people is higher in Hyderabad.
