EUNUCHS- A STIGMA ON THE SOCIETY BY THE SOCIETY
What is your first reaction when you come across a Eunuch or transgender or in Indian context ‘kinnar’, ‘hingra’, or a ‘chakka’?, One runs away from them or at most gives them a handsome amount of money to get rid of them but the impression every citizen of this worthy country carries is that “they are a stigma on the society”. Why are they considered a stigma?,
As they are Unacceptable part of the society because they don’t live like a normal human being or to be precise they don’t have normal sexual orientation, is this impression correct?
A transgender is a normal Human being capable of fulfilling all his duties as a citizen of a country. A normal human baby male or female is always born with both male and female hormones, the exposure which they get lead to decide there feelings as a male or female. A person who has been exposed to more female domination from his tender age develops feelings as a female and starts feeling like one and in his adolescents age wants to fulfill his desire by dressing like a female, carrying the same attitude as a female does, which is very much unacceptable by the society at large. This ill attitude of people towards them forces them to test there gender identity.

It is our mistake that we have not been able to uplift them and get them into the mainstream..
its a pathetic condition for us not them.
Yes, there are a few of us who are able to struggle, educate and rise above these influences.
But ultimately it is the whole of society that needs to care and put into place supportive programs for better education, and job opportunities.
The same argument has been demonstrated with the rise of women rights. 100 years ago, they were denied vote, basic human and employment rights. yes there were a few who raised themselves above this oppressive societal attitude, but it is only with an overall change of society attitude that society changed, and governments implemented policies to promote employment and education opportunities for women.
the same pathway has also been demonstrated with the rise of balck people. in the past we also use d to give them very few human rights.
To say that once we lived in a golden age and now we are in a fallen age of kali is false.
the reality is that we used to live in a very ignorant age, and it is only iwth modernisation, that we are entering and dawning into a golden age of compassion, caring for people who are different, and legislating such caring feelings into policies for health and employment and human rights.
unfortunately, some of our neighbouring socieities, still live in the d arkest of ages in terms of womens rights, native rights, and hijra rights dont even make a showing... this is the tragedy
