Shanavi Ponnusamy, a transgender woman from Tamil Nadu, has been making news for taking on Air India in the Supreme Court for denying her a cabin crew position, allegedly on the basis of her gender.
Recently, she won support from the Women Against Sexual Violence and State Repression (WSS), which issued a statement strongly condemning Air India’s denial of a job to Shanavi because of her gender identity.
“In a shameful but sadly commonplace instance of gender discrimination and transphobia, Shanavi was rejected multiple times by Air India for the cabin crew post once her identity as a transwoman was revealed,” the statement said.
