References

These references somehow disappeared from the content itself, and ended up orphaned (either their statements were rewritten, removed, combined, or...? Anyway, I'm adding them to the refs section on the article, and if you need to inline them, here they are.

• <ref>At this point, Raj was still using his earlier chosen name, Nicholas (or Nick) Ghosh. Raj had chosen his new name in order to keep some distance from his professional persona as a trans advocate and activist and his personal life, but soon dropped the older ‘Nick Ghosh’ in favor of Rupert Raj. </ref>
