The Second Puberty

The Second Puberty (TSP) is a forum that allows users to submit questions anonymously in the hope of helping them navigate the complexities of modern young adulthood. By bringing topics such as questioning of gender identity, mental health, sex, drug use, etc., to the forefront, TSP aims to provide a space for all people to grapple with their values and internal contradictions.

Additionally, we hope to showcase the wide variety of experiences that common folk are going through daily, that are far removed from the expected narrative surrounding Indian youth. Our goal is to make people question the “defaults” in their lives, and normalize / demystify conversations that they wouldn’t likely be having otherwise.

TSP was created by Venika and is a a collaboration between her and two other people: Dale O’Connell, a trans-masc person; and Shivangi Agrawal, a disabled and queer activist.
