LETS START BEHAVING AS HUMAN BEING FIRST!!

The incident which I witnessed very recently made me to post this blog which is all about “transgender and their community”. Last Friday when I was returning back home from project place in train, I saw two transgender coming to all compartments in demand of money for some function in their temple. Some offered them money and some denied. When they came near my seat, a couple offered them some money reluctantly which they accepted it with gratitude and left the place. After they went, the female told her husband that thank god, u gave something and sent them or else yuck, those people would have touched me. The conversation continued with a fellow sitting opposite to them. I was just viewing all this and started thinking about this issue.

I don’t know why this sort of treatment is given to such people and treat them as untouchable. In north side those people are considered as Lord Aarthanareeshwarar and treated as holy people. But we people in south side are not even treating them as normal human being. Here I definitely don’t know whom should we blame, whether the people or those community people? Because this transgender are men behaving like women because of their sexual chromosomal lack. So this should be seen in a biological perspective and they should be treated as female in every way. We need not help them by means of money but we can just show them the minimum courtesy and that will be surely of great help to them. Even every transgender should stop thinking bad about their birth and grow up their confidence to achieve in their life. They can opt for any work other than sex and begging so that they can start shining like other gender people. Only because of the act of begging and teasing of very few transgender is intimidating common people, which ultimately lead to a very bad opinion about the whole community. This can be avoided when they start living a respectful life which should be taken care by the government or transgender who are in well off position. Now a days few people of that community started grooming up well and represent their community in every field. Many a people have stepped into every field and started excelling in it.

This issue may be controversial, but as a human being we should be in a position to understand others feeling and stop teasing such people. Hope this post atleast make few not to think them as clutter but as third gender people.

PS: this is just my opinion and no offence on any one.
