Addressing this human rights issue , the supreme court in India gave this verdict recently.
" Trangenders are also citizens of India. The spirit of the constitution is to provide equal opportunity to every citizen to grow and attain their potential irrespective of caste,religion or gender," said the justices in their ruling.


Poem Artwork

                                        A transgender performer

 

 Transgenders are the third gender

A landmark judgment came out with a thunder

Who are they and what is there in this for them

Few will care to know of the mayhem

Who can't fathom their plight

It has given them the right

 To be accepted in society

Not condemned or guilty

In this world  to live with dignity

It's a genetic mutation that doesn't happen very often. But when it does happen or person who has this condition is often mistreated by many. Birthing doctors need to come out of the closet on this and come up with ways so that each of these individuals can lead meaningful lives without deception to protect their sanity.

Having had an individual like this, working for me, not knowing until he she was fired for what coworkers thought was abnormal behavior, I'm grateful I treated him her well and hope that he she can come to grips with life from here on out.

"Amen." Judging anyone is a very dangerous thing.
Well said, JKR.

If only all beings could be allowed to live with dignity, what a marvelous world it could be.
