I read Rosheen's story as a rape survivor this afternoon - here
It made me recall of the first time I met her.
I remember sitting in an auditorium attending a closed dialogue, wide-eyed, listening first-hand to the personal stories of three brave survivors - Rosheen, rape survivor and writer of this article, Nisha Ayub - internationally renowned trans-activist, Dorian, a transman activist.
Their experiences really changed my perspectives and starkly highlighted my privilege. Invisible privilege which I never thought twice about and took for granted, for example, simply being able to enter a women's restroom in peace, freely expressing my gender expression without fear of violence and being able to travel without being interrogated for looking different from the name in my passport.
