About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks
video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Does "she" have a job?

[@rahuulchawla7771]

what a boring story! there is no substance no social message in the entire speech, its like she is narrating a story to grandchildren.

[@shivgmailmov3281]

All is fine. Everybody has right to live their life. What I don't understand is WHY TRANSGENDERS BEG on the streets. They spent so much on the dresses and cosmetics but BEG on the ROAD with the RIGHT to be a transgender. Why don't search a suitable job. I am sure there are employer who want to work.

[@shaminipushparaj5382]

Sh M bro you throw childhood in road without any education what job they will get

[@MannChawla1]

Do you know how much discrimination is there? No one gives them job. Up till now they didn't have any identity because there was no column in official documents apart from male and female.
With no other source of income, they have to do this.
