Pearl feels free when they ride their motorbike through the Indian mountains near Ladakh, watching nothing but trees and mountain peaks beside them. When they shaved their hair for the first time, it was an expression of freedom. Pearl does not associate themself with any gender, loves women and is part of a Parsi minority of less than 100,000 people in the world. Through their work with the Humsafar Trust, the largest Indian organization for queer people, Pearl wants to help the LGBTIQ community by working with young people. At schools and universities, they inform students about gender and sexuality. “This is something very personal and nobody can tell you who you shall love,” says Pearl. Pearl is also committed to equal educational opportunities for women.
