It will witness a debate between two prominent trans activists and actresses Revathi and Kalki.
Bharatanatyam, folk music and Bollywood numbers will add colour to the event. “We have also invited a special guest, Celia Sandhya Daniels, who is an Indian born Tamil transgender activist, who lives in the United States of America, to perform on the guitar and sing for us,” said Kalki.
