Orhan Awatramani, widely known as Orry, is currently facing significant backlash online. The social media influencer is accused of using insensitive language towards the transgender community in a recent Instagram post.
The controversy stems from a clip Orry shared from a comedy event. The event featured two actors portraying transgender women engaged in a comedic fight.
Orry’s accompanying caption stated, “You went to a comedy show and two ‘chakkas’ fought behind you.” He also wrote, “But how can she slap?” The term “chakkas” is considered derogatory.
Social media users quickly condemned the post. Many netizens deemed the language offensive and an insult to the transgender community.
Calls for an apology from Orry have intensified across various platforms. Users stressed that such humor is not acceptable and demonstrates insensitivity.
