Cruel societal norms

“A body which is built in one way, houses a mind which is crying to be something else..crying for their rights, crying for a normal living, crying for living “ have you ever thought how is it to belong to the class of transgender? How life looks when you are denied of your own rights? Discriminated for just being made in a different way? Its choking. It is difficult to walk in those shoes but that no where means that those shoes do not exist. This discrimination is embedded in our consciousness and is aggravated with the passing time owing to our ignorance and insensitivity. Right from childhood slowly all the self created societal norms and discriminations are infused in our system. But thankfully, someone thought out of the box and respecting the rights of this third gender, passed a ruling in their favor. Yes, finally the Pakistan Supreme court placed a ruling where every transgender can lawfully claim every right as is entitled to every human being.

Its bothers a great deal when the parents deter from accepting the abnormality of the child, the little kid without even knowing his fault is left to wonder why things are like this? Why can’t he be treated normally in the society? Not knowing the marked distinction or the cruelty of this society, even a little child belonging to this third sex faces things that surely he doesn’t deserve. I still wonder who has defined these societal norms? Who defined it without considering and including “ALL” in one framework? Going beyond the societal norms, you would be tagged “Unruly” and would attract one of those looks of killers. But again should this bother you a great deal? Move forward, fight for your own folks,their acceptance in the society. Fight for their rights. 


This mistreated lot of people should be treated at par, should get all the rights like a normal human, should be allowed to live, should be allowed to breathe and not suffocate and die. Try walking in their shoes once and everything, all the realities of life would be crystal clear. I feel this discrimination is even more severe than racial discrimination and should not be promoted any more.

So, it’s a request please “Stop Discrimination”.
