THE THIRD GENDER


Is it a sin to be a different person???  If no then why do transgender face so much of social-discrimination ,Inequality  .Transgender are those people whose “gender identity”  is not matching their” assigned sex”. These people are consider to be third gender in our society ,But they are not accepted by our society  .Transgender and non conforming people face injustice at every turn , In childhood homes, in school system that promise to shelter and educate, In workplace, Even in grocery store ,at the hand of landlord ,police officer, Health care worker and service providers .Many social activists have been working for  transgender rights .Even Indian court have legalized gay sex .But still that much awareness is not yet spread .And yet people consider  being “  TRANSGENDER IS A MENTAL ILLNESS” , Many people are trying their best to spread the awareness Actor like Brad Pitt have said that  he will get married to her girlfriend Angelin Jolie when everyone will have a right to marriage .so its high time we should spread the awareness and accept them as one of part of our society .

being a part of the indian society,i must admit you are fully correct.
In a country with number of cultures and traditions, it gets very difficult to even decrease the rigidity of the thinking of stereotype people.

our society does not accept them. But in India every one has equal right to live. As a human being we should give respect to them.

I completely agree with you puja.
We need to change our behaviour and thinking towards those people.

these people should be given equal respect and equal treatment as it is given to any male or female in the society.
