THE THIRD KIND

If someone is asked to answer one simple question that how many gender are there in this world??
Out of 1.252 billion people most of them will fail by answering that there are two gender.I don't blame them for answering this question wrong because from childhood we are taught that the two genders of human race are male and female.But what about the third kind??
'TRANSGENDER'Or the 'HIJARAS'(popularly known in south asia)
Where do they exist? ?
Actually they dont!
If they would then they won't be considered as untouchables.
If they would then we won't sideline them in railway station,schools, road, public places!
Everytime when I travel by train and whenever a hijara pass by I notice that people just turn around their faces to avoid them.
But why do they?
Are hijaras monster or do they look like them?
The answer is simple they don't.But its society who created such type of mentality in everyone's mind.
The hijaras who don't have way of earning goes around by asking money all around and in return they say"Bhagwan aapka bhala kare".
The hijaras for their survival works as sex workers they also perform in some marriage ceremony or in some birthday function!
Is this the only way for their survival?
I guess the answer is 'NO'
They can also earn by some work like we do.
But they can't because we don't consider them as a part of our race!
Our society realises or
cares to realise the trauma,
agony and pain which the
members of Transgender
community undergo, nor
appreciates the innate feelings of the members of the
Transgender community,
especially of those whose mind
and body disown their
biological sex. Our society
often ridicules and abuses the
Transgender community forgetting the fact that the
moral failure lies in the
society's unwillingness to
contain or embrace different
gender identities and
expressions, a mindset which
we have to change.
SO LETS TAKE A STEP TOWADS THIS GENDER DYSPHORIC PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM A PART OF THIS WORLD
