My transition is complete: Trinetra
Topper was trolled for her facial hair: Trinetra
I have no interest in promoting bodily intervention: Trinetra
Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, the medical doctor turned actress recently talked about the facial feminisation surgery she went through. She is a trans activist who educates people on topics like intersectionality, queerphobia and transphobia. “My transition is complete. I didn’t think this final step would happen anytime soon, but it has. I did this by myself, for myself, and still can’t believe it. Transition to me is deeply spiritual, and not the stuff of tabloids and speculative nonsense. I haven’t talked about wanting FFS at all mostly out of fear of public scrutiny and judgement, but why shy away from something so important in this journey of accessing myself? Who cares what anybody thinks or believes, really? Truth be told, I’ve wanted this for a decade, and there were lots of reasons to wait. I ticked them all off one by one,” she stated in a post on Instagram.

Trinetra also addressed the trolling faced by Bollywood actor Rajkumar for having used a filler on his chin 8-9 years back. She questioned the double standards of the naysayers. Trinetra has talked about being bullied in high school and college. “An actor was recently trolled into sheepishly admitting he had chin filler, and a topper was trolled for (not doing anything about) her facial hair in the face of obvious academic merit. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don’t, clearly. There is only this one body, this one life. If there is gender dysphoria, it has to be dealt with. I’ve lost count of how many people in the industry I’ve met who’ve had work done and will deny intervention. To each their own, but I do not wish to contribute to a culture of opacity that thrives on making masses of young people insecure. I have no interest in promoting bodily intervention, but I do believe in transparency, as has always been the case, especially as a doctor. My reasons were gender affirmation and confidence therefrom, as extensively deliberated on over years of therapy. Others may have their own,” Trinetra added.
