Hyderabad: In yet another post about facing harassment by a transgender person, a woman Reddit user shared her experience on Wednesday.

The Reddit user, going by the name ‘anonymous_soulll’ posted on the ‘r/hyderabad’ about her ordeal saying that a transgender person approached her while she was walking on the Gachibowli-Miyapur road near DLF along with her roommate, and demanded an exorbitant amount of money.

“This person kept at it. This is the first time I’m seeing a transgender person approach girls this way,” said the Reddit user in her post.

“We told them that we’ve got no money with us and he said to gpay. I was very intimidating and we were both equally scared. (sic) ” she posted adding that the transgender person demanded the woman to pay more money when she tried to transfer Rs. 10 from using her UPI account.

“I gave him 10 rupees and he was extremely offended. Said people gave him 11000 and 5000 and we were Shaming him this way. We just ran from there.” the woman added.

Responding to the woman’s post, another user going by the name ‘Far_Information_4070’ said that he had also faced a similar experience in the same area. “We just wanted to get rid of them , so my friend took his phone out to send some 20rs , but they asked for 1500 rs. We were just blank,” the user said.

“Daylight robbery and police won’t stop this,” commented another user.

This is not the first time someone has commented on the issue on the platform. In a viral post made last year, a woman shared her horrific experience of being harassed by transgender individuals.
