He outlines his process and the steps involved in this journey and how you can get started for yourself.

South Asian culture, and moreover Jain culture, leaves little room for deviation from the normal relationship: man + woman. Notions of this 'ideal' ostracize LGBTQ individuals, often putting us in a category as "unsuitable." And while we've gotten past openly shaming, we have not developed true acceptance. The hushed whispers and rumors, as if it's something to be ashamed of, leaves little room for the Desi LGBTQ to make decisions about their gender and sexuality.
