Acceptance is something we all seek, be it during school, college, from our family, friends- to be loved for who we are.

Rejection for Abhina Aher came from everyone- her class teacher who criticized her for her appearance. Her classmates, where 10 boys raped her and even her mother. In this transitioning phase, depression, thoughts of suicide swept Abhina. But a few incidents made her realize and made her declare- 'Abhina, you need to accept yourself, love yourself, find your purpose, find yourself and your self-worth.'

Listen to Abhina Aher's story in this Josh Talk Podcast with Siddhant Nag.

Abhina is a transgender activist and an associate director at India HIV/AIDS Alliance on gender sexuality rights and has her own Tweet Foundation, Transgender Welfare Equity & Empowerment Trust and her dancing group Dancing Queens.
