    Transgender is mental illness.

    At least 19 trans women were arrested on charges of extortion and begging
    in the southern city of Hyderabad, deputy police commissioner Chandana
    Deepti told journalists.

    Police arrested the group in connection with an extortion racket, which
    the women, who were “pretending to be transgender [to extort] money”, were
    part of, Deepti claimed.

    She also claimed that the police “suspect” two of the 19 to be trans,
    since they had both undergone gender-affirming surgeries.

    “The rest of them have confessed that they are males. They were disguised
    as women to make people believe that they were transgender. That’s how
    they were extorting [money from people],” Deepti said.

    However, Simran, an LGBTQ+ activist and trans woman working to free the
    group, alleged they had been forced to confess.

    “When I met the [arrested individuals] at the police station, they told me
    the police personnel harassed them a lot, insulting and abusing them,
    before forcing them to change their clothes into what men wear,” she said.

    HAHAHAhAHAHAHA!
