Gurgaon (Haryana), Mar 04 (ANI): A transgender employee has been forced to beg on the streets following her dismissal from an Information technology (IT) firm. Kiran on Friday said that she resigned from her previous firm following embarrassment at workplace after she disclosed her biological identity. She also said that now she has shifted to Delhi and is begging in order to earn her living. Meena, one of the women who lent a helping hand to Kiran said that she was unaware about Kiran's condition but when Kiran shared her pain with them, she felt empathy. Such an incident has come up after the Centre filed a review petition in the Supreme Court seeking clarity on issues arising out of a 2014 judgment pertaining to the rights and status of transgender. The matter regarding Kiran’s case is posted for hearing tomorrow.
