There has been increasing outcry about rights of gays , lesbians, transgenders . Debates have been shifting the pendulum towards the rights of gays /lesbians , marriages and the work opportunities of transgenders . From this point i will refer to these people as Group GLT.
Vijay TV has gone ahead and has a program thats hosted by a transgender, who was abused socially, sexually and every other s- word you can think of . You can watch it below .
Most of us relish in writing blogs , winning discussions over rights of GLT ( Gay, lesbian, transgender), very similar to the grey haired folks coming in cnn-ibn . We feel nice when others acknowledge our broad mindness , write comments in blog ..whatever . But as RGV says , it matters when it happens to us . Go ahead , feel the situation , what would you do in these situations ?
1. You have a neighbor who is a gay . He lives with his gay friend . Nice guy , doesn't interfere in your line . After a month, your son starts to roam out with him . Everything seem to be OK . One day you see your son going to his house late in the night , albeit he says that he goes to play play station .
2. You have two sons and you are in a very comfortable position in your life. All that you touch in your professional life turns gold , peopel look upto you for inspiration . You discover that your son has a girlish tendency and starts having affinity towards girlish things , mingles only with girls . His hand gestures mirrors bharatnatyam dancers . He hates boys . He is 13 now and he starts feeling he is indeed a 'she' . What do you do ?
3. Your son is 25 . Very much a communist . You are ok with that , because your brain extends beyond your body to the artic poles . He is a software engineer and mingles with your family in a nice way . One fine afternoon , he drops a shell : he wants to marry a transgender.
If at all anybody answers , i will tell mine too :)

1. I will give him a slap and ask him what is the reason he went. If he tells me really he went for Playstation then fine - on the other hand if he tells the answer I didn't want to hear in the first place, I will discuss it with him with openness or ask him to get some counselling and get some for me too (counsel)
2. Chide him mildly to act like a guy and if he continues to be how he is, again counselling to some psychiatrist - and see if he is truly a TG - for I know someone who thought he is a TG while he is not and also have come across someone who is a TG but realized it much later.
3. Oru tight slap and then ask him to get the hell out of the house and make a living for himself - At a later point of time I might change my mind - I donno!
