Otto Lilienthal, the world’s first pilot, once said that to invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something, but to fly is everything.
Despite several challenges, Adam Harry, India’s first transgender pilot, is proving that the sky is the limit. When Harry was a child, his father gave him a plane toy.
That toy fascinated him so much that he dreamed of one day becoming a pilot. Harry is the first pilot in India who has come out as trans, but coming out as trans was a journey that was full of problems.
Harry was studying in school when he first came out as a trans person. He told his friends about his gender identity, but it was something they did not understand because of a lack of awareness about gender possibilities.
