Photo by sarahyltonphoto / I watched Simran, a member of Mumbai's hijra community, which includes transgender and intersex people, walk along the Bandstand Promenade in the Bandra area, asking locals and tourists for money. More than anything, in a world and society that both misunderstands and neglects her, I was struck by her ability to perfectly balance elegance and assertiveness.
