Special Segment Vichaar- The Invisible Record: Journalism, Identity, and the Fight to Make Transgender Lives Visible

In this episode of Azaad Awaaz's Vichaar, we sit down with Prof. Sayantan Datta, a transfeminine genderfluid academic and writer, to talk about the messy, urgent realities of gender identity in India today. From the personal lens shaped by their own lived experience to the socially constructed nature of gender itself, Prof. Datta reflects on how far or how little the transgender rights movement has come since their landmark piece on 'sexed' brains nearly a decade ago, unpacking the gap between constitutional promise and everyday exclusion in education, healthcare, and employment, the politics of mandatory medical procedures under the Trans Bill, and why any real conversation on trans rights has to reckon with caste, class, disability, and region. A candid layered conversation on identity, exclusion, and what justice actually requires. Tune in!
