A person who is transgender in a town called Kurnool is having a hard time.
They need money from the government to live, but the government is taking too long to give it to them.
This person has to beg for food and can't afford things they need.
A lawyer and other kind people are telling the government to help this person and others like them quickly.
They say that everyone should be treated fairly and have enough to live a good life.
