00:00In the days of my mother, we will be able to get a different group of my mother.
00:05Today, we will be here for Silk Ashish.
00:09We will know more about their work.
00:12Hello.
00:13Hello everyone.
00:15My name is Silk Ashish and I live in Mumbai.
00:19Professionally, I am a lawyer, an advocate.
00:22In 2014, I have been in the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa.
00:29My parents have been here.
00:34The St. Catherine School is my school where I have completed my school.
00:37After that, I have completed my BA in the Valia College.
00:43My BA has been in Human and Developmental Psychological.
00:46I have also been in Mumbai University.
00:48I am a professional lawyer.
00:52I think that knowledge is very important for me.
00:56I am a professional lawyer.
00:57I have to learn from myself.
00:59I am a professional lawyer.
01:01We have to learn from others.
01:03We can learn from others.
01:05We learn from others.
01:06This is my main purpose.
01:07My journey has been different from far from far from.
01:10We can see that the society has been a long time.
01:12Our journey has been different from others.
01:14So, I am a trans person.
01:16My journey has been shared.
01:18In my childhood I was a little older, I was a kid, I was a kid, I was a kid.
01:25But when I was around 11 years old, I was a kid, I was very different from my class.
01:35What was the start of that journey?
01:40I didn't understand exactly what I was at first.
01:43When I was younger, I was also busy playing cricket, I was a kid, a girl was making a game,
01:52and I felt a little bit, it was a kid, I was not a kid, I was a kid, I was a kid, like they were talking,
01:59was a hobby in my mind.
02:05I was lucky, it was I was no friends, I was not my first time.
02:09So, after the journey started, I was able to study the 10th grade, and after the 10th grade, I felt that there were many changes in my body, but I didn't understand what happened.
02:25I didn't know who to tell at home, because I didn't know what the change was.
02:31My habits were more feminine, because I felt good, wearing clothes, makeup, talking about the girls, and their work.
02:41I felt that I was a woman, not a man.
02:47I started accepting it, and then the rejection of my family started.
02:51When I was wearing clothes, I was very angry at home.
02:55My father was very important, and I was very happy to have a decision-making.
03:00Definitely, in my home, it was the same.
03:02My family told me that you are a father, you are a big man, you need your children, your child, etc.
03:11My father and my family were not able to understand.
03:14But there is a general concept that, after the child is born,
03:19when the girls are doing these things, I do not believe that it is a stigma that we are seeing for a group of children.
03:25We see in this spectrum and a typew shows us from family and children.
03:27That was the same with me.
03:28People started calling in different names,
03:31with the age of a lot of people,
03:33people often call in search,
03:34people often call in search,
03:34people often ask them,
03:37people often ask them,
03:38people often ask the questions,
03:40Some of the problems in their lives are like,
03:42the same truths are like,
03:43but there is also the truth that if they get better,
03:46in their lives, they don't really trust them.
03:47I always remember a quote that I had taught at the time,
03:54that the teaching is blood from the beginning.
03:57The study is blood from the beginning,
03:59and whatever you drink will always grow and talk.
04:02So that's why I'm talking about all of you today,
04:05because the quote always gives me inspiration and motivation,
04:09and because of the quote,
04:11I can complete my law and graduation.
04:14I don't accept the family,
04:17I don't think I don't accept the family.
04:19I don't think I don't accept the family,
04:21nor in the family,
04:23because our family is also part of this society.
04:25We have been born in this society.
04:27So the society has created rules, regulations,
04:29and everyone has been banned.
04:31They must be banned from itself,
04:34or then forcefully banned from itself.
04:36But it happens.
04:37So my family, my mother, my father,
04:40were also part of this society.
04:41So they didn't accept that.
04:43They've also been 17 years old for me.
04:46They've also been 17 years old for me today.
04:47They say,
04:48they accept me,
04:49they live with me,
04:50or I'm like I am,
04:51like I have done myself,
04:52like I have done myself.
04:53They have accepted them.
04:54The challenge has come,
04:56initially,
04:57when there was no acceptance,
04:58there was no rejection,
04:59people didn't talk about the house,
05:00people didn't talk about the house,
05:01or they made a joke.
05:02So running from home is an option.
05:04This is an option for transgenders.
05:06It's very important.
05:07We want to be more,
05:08like,
05:09people want us to be friendly,
05:11free,
05:12security,
05:13so definitely,
05:14when I was in my age of the 11th,
05:16I was connected with my community.
05:18We also call the Hizra community,
05:19they have been connected with my guru,
05:20so I am connected with them.
05:21Initially,
05:22Initially, I learned everything that I have learned from eating and eating.
05:29It has been involved in all these things.
05:32But one thing was always in my mind and in my heart,
05:35that probably not only for eating and eating.
05:38We can do something else.
05:40So, that's always the motivation that I have come inside.
05:43And one day, I told my guru that I have to study.
05:46I don't want to eat and eating and eating.
05:50The community is also rigid.
05:52Because you will go outside of this society.
05:55If we go outside of this society,
05:58then we will do something else.
05:59Because we have already gone from home.
06:01We have already gone from this society.
06:03Then, I didn't leave.
06:05Then, I kept it.
06:07Slowly, slowly, the eyes of the skin
06:09will learn a lot.
06:11So, we reached out to our eyes of the skin.
06:15We danced for two years in the bar.
06:19So, I don't want to be angry.
06:22Because every journey is learning something in life.
06:25Maybe that journey has not been taught,
06:27so, I don't know how to speak.
06:28Or, I don't want to be able to motivate all transgenders.
06:31So, I think that journey has also taught me how to live.
06:35I think that journey has changed.
06:36I think that journey has changed.
06:40The acceptance has also come from 100%.
06:43I don't think that acceptance has also come from 100%.
06:47But the acceptance has come from me.
06:49This is the hand of our transgenders.
06:52That I think that I believe...
06:53I don't want to go for the journey.
06:55That it is not only for the children.
06:56The hands can take a lot.
06:58The hands can take a lot.
07:00The hands can take a lot.
07:01The hands can take a lot.
07:03And the hands can take a lot.
07:04The hands can take a lot.
07:05And that is my hope.
07:06That is my ambition.
07:07So, you came from the social work,
07:08how did you think about it?
07:09When did you think about it?
07:10Thank you very much.
07:40Thank you very much.
08:10Thank you very much.
08:40Thank you very much.
09:10Thank you very much.
09:40Thank you very much.
10:10Thank you very much.
10:40Thank you very much.
11:10Thank you very much.
