Trans Actress Trinetra Haldar Undergoes Facial Feminization Surgery, Recalls Rajkummar Rao Getting Trolled

Trinetra Haldar, a transgender actor, activist, and doctor, bravely shared her experience of undergoing a feminization transition on social media. In her recent post, she celebrated her journey while also condemning body shaming. She also addressed the online criticism aimed at Rajkummar Rao regarding alleged cosmetic procedures.

She wrote, ¡°8th April 2024 - FFS - facial feminisation surgery | spain wasn¡¯t just a vacation | chaotic sketches and diary entries on opioids. Facial Feminisation Surgery (FFS) is one of many interventions a trans person may undergo to feel more alignment between body and gender identity. Other gender affirming interventions may include gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT/HRT), gender affirming genital surgery, etc.¡±

She went on to add, ¡°My transition is complete. I didn¡¯t think this final step would happen anytime soon, but it has. I did this by myself, for myself, and still can¡¯t believe it. Transition to me is deeply spiritual, and not the stuff of tabloids and speculative nonsense. I haven¡¯t talked about wanting FFS at all mostly out of fear of public scrutiny and judgement, but why shy away from something so important in this journey of accessing myself? Who cares what anybody thinks or believes, really? Truth be told, I¡¯ve wanted this for a decade, and there were lots of reasons to wait. I ticked them all off one by one..¡±

Mentioning Rajkummar Rao and Prachi, she said, ¡°An actor was recently trolled into sheepishly admitting he had chin filler, and a topper was trolled for (not doing anything about) her facial hair in the face of obvious academic merit. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don¡¯t, clearly. There is only this one body, this one life. If there is gender dysphoria, it has to be dealt with.¡±

Her note added, ¡°I¡¯ve lost count of how many people in the industry I¡¯ve met who¡¯ve had work done and will deny intervention. To each their own, but I do not wish to contribute to a culture of opacity that thrives on making masses of young people insecure. I have no interest in promoting bodily intervention, but I do believe in transparency, as has always been the case, especially as a doctor. My reasons were gender affirmation and confidence therefrom, as extensively deliberated on over years of therapy. Others may have their own. Doing this alone hasn¡¯t been easy, but my god, I¡¯m convinced I¡¯m fuck*ng invincible.¡±
