Discussion about transgender people in India usually centers around women, often referred to as hijra, kinnar, and aravanis (in Tamil Nadu). There are numerous support and advocacy organizations throughout India that assist women, but less obvious are the resources that are available to trans men.

While certainly not exhaustive, this guide to resources for transgender men in India includes information about helplines and support groups, mailing lists, and doctors and surgeons.

Special thanks to @questioncurl and @FireboltX for contributing to this article.
