I published an article on planetransgender about Tamil Nadu offering free SRS. Ever since I had 100's of inquiries about 'Tamil Sex' and not one about the Tamil Nadu state or how to arrange the operation. This article is exposing what amounts to sexual slavery in Tamil Nadu. Who is the slave owner? Not the transgender people. Is the state of Tamil Nadu sponsoring and benifiting from sexual slavery?
