Samira Obeid or Sam as most know her is a writer, multimedia content producer and creative thinker above all. An Indian butch lesbian originally from Chennai, she uses her identity and her pen as a way to create dialogue about the human existence that is often difficult to open up to an audience. She likes to believe she is a advocate of truth and liberty in its rawest forms, and has every intention of proving herself along life's every path. On an honest note, she loves entertaining a unsuspecting audience.

Every transsexual┬аgoes through a battle to relate her personal feelings to the society and often to his/her own family. But certainly that is what makes us that much stronger and┬аwholesome.

And being a Transexual for me is not about┬аthe glamour or the awe-struck compliments from sleazy men. Its about being ME!
