Wanda is a self-taught makeup artist in Sidrap, South Sulawesi, who opened her beauty salon three years ago. Her two employees are transgender women, a hiring decision she made on the belief that clients prefer calabais to apply their makeup and style their hair. Wanda hopes to open her own wedding planning business in the near future. Photo taken July 30th, 2015. Religion New Service photo by Alexandra Radu

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
