THINK ABOUT
THEM BECAUSE THINKING IS NOT A SIN
Dressed in
women’s outfit, a nose-pin on one nostril and with a delicate fading orange
henna pattern on her hands, pink nail polish and colorful glass bracelets
around her wrist. Standing on the signal, waiting for a car to come and ready
to say “Bajji ALLAH TUMHE KHUSHIYAN DIKHAYE TUMHE MAKKAH MADINEY JAANE KI
SAADAT NASEEB HOO”. They won’t have any problem that you only give them 1 rupee
or 2 rupee they will take it happily. I know everyone knows about them I am
talking about those people who face harsh realities of life day by day yet they
don’t complain about anything but it doesn’t mean we forget about them before
treating them badly. Talking about the most important people I want to say that
transgender are just different, not abnormal. Transgender are normal human
beings just like us, they should be treated just like any other men or women in
our daily life we need to accept transgender for who they are.
There are
communities of Tran’s genders in Pakistan who are living together dancing,
singing and begging on the mean streets of Karachi. What do you think without education can you find a suitable job for
yourself. Leave alone empathy or acceptance, most of them are denied education,
jobs, houses to rent and other tools of empowerment. That is why there is so much
of begging among them.
Most
transgender are thrown out of their families, because their parents are unable
to accept the transition. Among them whom are lucky find their ways how to live
the tougher part of life. Others run away because they cannot bear violence,
abuse and ridicule they are subjected to. I found some few lines written by a
person about how he turns his gender saying “I was the eldest among my siblings
and started working at an early age as a transgender since my father was not
interested in supporting the family. He had a bad temper and used to beat my
mother and the children at home”. So these are some of the pressures that these
people had faced in early lives that change their minds their perceptions. If you
treat them badly they curse you that is a threat but if you treat them in a
good manner if you think that they are normal people they give you blessings
towards happy and successful life.
So think about it why they can’t get that
place in our society that level that is equal for everyone why they are abused
on signals just because they have their own identity. But we don’t accept them
as members of our society cause of our weird perceptions. Transgender are those
people who come from our society they follow the same religion. While this may
be difficult to comprehend in deeply religious cultures like ours, Transgenders were created the way they are by the Creator Himself. We simply do not
have the right to treat them in any derogatory manner because of how they are positioned.
.... Think about them because thinking is not
a sin.
