Trans Woman Ella D Verma’s Parents Give Befitting Reply To Trolls: Say,
Trans woman, creator, and anchor Ella D Verma often faces trolling on social media. Unfortunately, these attacks don’t just target her—they also drag her parents into criticism. One such hurtful comment read, “Bet your parents are ashamed of you.”
### “Our Daughter Chose Happiness”
In a heartfelt video, her parents, Vicky and Varsha Verma, shut down the trolls, firmly stating there is absolutely no reason for them to be ashamed of their daughter.
Addressing the online hate, Vicky and Varsha reminded everyone that festive seasons can be especially emotionally difficult for LGBTQIA+ families. They shared how, earlier when Ella was known as Dev, relatives would ask about his studies, achievements, or trophies. Now, the questions revolve only around her gender identity.
Varsha asserted with conviction, “Our daughter chose happiness. Why would we be ashamed?”
Vicky admitted that initially he felt conscious when people questioned things like Ella’s nail polish or hair choices. Over time, however, he found a simple yet powerful answer: “Because she likes to.” This perspective changed everything for him.
### Varsha’s Message to Society
Varsha highlighted that transgender individuals embody much more than just their gender identity. Instead of focusing solely on stereotypes, she urged people to ask about their careers, dreams, or interests—areas that truly define a person.
She also reminded society:
*“The way you treat your child is the way the world will treat them. If you show confidence, others won’t dare to speak ill.”*
### A Larger Struggle for the LGBTQIA+ Community
The Vermas’ response resonates deeply with many LGBTQIA+ families who continue to face social stigma. Often, trolls target not just the individual but also question their upbringing and family values.
Vicky and Varsha’s open and unwavering support exemplify parental acceptance breaking through social prejudice. Ella D Verma’s story reflects the ongoing challenges that transgender individuals face in India—from online trolling to discrimination even during family gatherings.
Yet, through love, acceptance, and confidence, parents like Vicky and Varsha remind us that hate can be silenced better than anything else.
