The world is changing. After giving respect to the identity of women, they deserve, we are moving toward changing the mindset of people about transgender. This is what the actual meaning of Feminism is – treating all genders equal be it male, female, or transgender.

Also, as a woman, it is your responsibility to know your identity and always believe in yourself.
