I have decided to visit a transgender gathering for my paper and I particularly chosen this because I wanted to feel how these gatherings are different than other gatherings with heterosexual or a mixture of all orientations. I wanted to know that if these types of meetings have anything different or anything special in particular. I also wanted to explore if I have any interpersonal bias that I am not aware of. The experience was an eye opening experience for me because I realized many new things by attending this gathering. Due to COVID restrictions, there were not much people but still I was able to understand the main agenda or feeling behind these types of transgender gatherings.
