Once, I was recharging my cell phone at Pitampura Metro Station in Delhi.
There were two transgenders along with me standing and recharging their phone. The
moment they left, the shop keeper along with his friend burst out with their refrained
laugh.
You must have realized by now, why did they laugh and whom
they laughed on. How many times you must have seen people smiling while gazing
at the transgenders, or passing ugly
comments and how many times you yourself must have done the same.
I never understood why we make fun of people who are also Humans. For what we express our joy, being a normal one, that’s it? I
mean why to discriminate among people when all are coming from the same source,
cosmos. Who are we?? Why we think ourselves so superior?? Just because we are lucky.
Even in Science, this kind of discrimination is called as
Genetic Discrimination. In our body, each of our characteristics and behavior
is regulated by a unit called as gene
and these genes are made up of
different configuration of Nitrogen Bases. Now each of our characteristics and behavior
is regulated by expression of this gene. We all have the same genome structure
but it all depends which one is getting expressed.
You are lucky, your transgender gene is suppressed, what if
it would have expressed, and you would also become one of them whom other
people made fun at. Now, you realized how blessed you are?
We often see transgenders
begging because we have not left any other jobs for them to do. Society feels
reluctant to accept them the way they are. Vipanna Gabriel, a transgender, from
Maharashtra says ‘’ Change. That is what we need in the system we live in. For transpeople,
we need laws that protect us, the assurance and hope for a secure future and protection
against violence and discrimination. Our
people are dying so young. Their deaths reflect the ignorance, the corruptness
and the lack of support of our legal, social, and family systems. We, as people
in the society, are always ignored to give what we needed the most. ‘’

They are also Human Being, a gift
from Nature, Cosmos. Stop humiliating them, they also bleed red, they also have
emotions, they also get hurt, they also have tears as we so called
normal/superior/lucky people have. All they need is love, care, friendship, a
hand to console, an ear to listen to, few words to cheer them up, and a warm
acceptance in this society. Let’s join hand together to spread the awareness among
others, at least to the one sitting beside you, to give love and respect to
them, because they deserve them equally as we do. Encourage them to work and study.
What kind of Humans are we if we don’t know the meaning of humanity, compassion
and love? And we called ourselves Wise Superior Race.
