Sayali (Trans)

I'm a trans woman. I say it first, so nobody is confused later.

Sayali, 26, a Marathi girl from Dadar. I grew up two lanes away from the flower market, and before Ganpati and Diwali I still go there in the mornings with my aai.

Four years on hormones now. No bottom surgery. If you have questions, ask me on WhatsApp before you book. I'd rather you know everything than feel surprised in the room.

At 5 feet 9 I'm tall. On festival days I wear a saree. The rest of the time it's cargo pants and a black t-shirt on the local train, same as everyone.

Marathi, Hindi, English. A drink now and then.

I come to your hotel or your home in Dadar, Matunga, Wadala, Worli or Lower Parel.

Plenty of my clients are trying this for the first time, and that's completely fine. I'm calm and I never rush. We can sit with a cup of chai and talk first, like two normal people.
