Several national and local media outlets have since written about him and his story. He got a lot of support from every section of society and his story was also discussed because it sheds light on the alleged systematic transphobia that is living in our society.
He has consequently been trending on a number of social media sites. He has definitely gained a lot of attention, and many people are talking about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
Who Is Adam Harry?
Adam Harry is a transgender pilot who has recently gained experience after getting declared unfit by the aviation authorities of India and has not been forced to do the job of the delivery executive.
He was a native of Kerala and is 23 years old. He was born into an orthodox Muslim family.
Adam Harry gained notoriety in 2019 as the first transgender trainee pilot in the nation and the Kerala government supported his goal of becoming a commercial pilot. He received a private pilot license (PPL) from South Africa because he did his training there.
In 2020, he was accepted into Thiruvananthapuram’s Rajiv Gandhi Academy for Aviation Technology under Kerala’s state government’s support program for the transgender community.
Harry, who underwent pilot training in South Africa, came out as trans on social media. Since then, he has gained a lot of popularity on social media.
He is now working as a delivery executive of Zomato, a popular food delivery service.
His Struggle
When Adam Harry first came out to his parents, his family beat him and took him to see psychiatrists.
Harry, who underwent pilot training in South Africa, came out as trans on social media. He soon received a swift callback, spent over ten months under home detention, and underwent corrective therapy—a dubious method intended to alter one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
In a recent interview, he described how staff members from the Institute of Aerospace Medicine, Bengaluru, bullied him during his physical test.
And most recently, Adam Harry was declared by aviation authorities to be medically ineligible for being a pilot. But he hasn’t given up hope yet, he has stated that he will challenge the DCGA’s ruling and clear the way for those who may come after him.
