It's weird that as an Indian, I was always taught to take blessings from Trans community whenever I see them and offer them help if they need as my family said their blessings are purest.
Historically trans people were revered in Hindu culture but unfortunately that respect has been lost in the modern society. We only seem to accept them as strangers but feel uneasy to be associated with them. Hopefully this changes in the coming years.
Yep I mean we literally have a transgender god and the transgender community had played arguably the most important role in ramayana. Hindu culture from the beginning of its existence had recognized the trans people as distinct gender same as male and female unlike the islam and christianity. But the 1000 years of colonialism has messed up our society and we need to fix that as soon as possible.
I would think India would be better than Mexico though to be honest for trans people..I see them actually blending in with some of those attractive bigger boned Indian women.

I was with my girlfriend today, near pacific mall(subash nagar) that trans came to me and asked money, i had only 500s and no one can give that somebody to freely and my gf only had card and online payment, so we were not able to give anything to them and then when our auto was about to pass she said "tumhari jodi nahi banegi" meaning '"you will never be able to be together" and i was like... stunned. I became frustrated, who the hell is that trans to say that to me? I wanted to punch that sole trans so hard, and from now on i'll never support these kind of uneducated trans, if u are educated enough to live in the society fine, i dont have any problems, but if they are like this, i dont want them in our society to be accepted by people, i never hated them, but the incident today itself lit a fire of hatred for these illiterate trans. I will never give them my money anymore, my gf literally paid 300 to them in Connaught place because she said ki "inhe dena achi baat hoti hai, tum mat do i want to give them ", i just hate them now.

@@capturedflame I suppose you are making the point that nature does not accept those who use synthetic hormones and such. There is not much natural about it and I think nature does not like it. However it is the result of natural processes that humans are experimenting with this and nature will inevitably have to correct itself.
As a Gay man, I firmly believe that, since I got my rights, it is MY DUTY to make sure that everyone else gets their rights, too. EVERYONE deserves to be treated with dignity and humanity! I love the Trans Community as if they were my family members. And, until my dying day, I will fight for them.
If you travel to India by train you will see alot a transgens clapping their hands and asking for some money if you don't give them you might get a slapping in your face because it happens to me once
As said by Gazal, it is true that we should give some % of time for the society to become more accepting as it really took more than 30 years to accept myself..if anyone rejects you, you dont reject yourself..
Whelp I cried. All people should be treated with respect, love and acceptance. It's ridiculous how cruel people are to their fellow person. How cruel parents can be to their own child. Horrid. All the speakers were absolute bad-asses and I truly, truly only wish the best for them.
This made me cry. I'm thankful to everyone who helped make this video. I am a citizen of the USA. I have faced gross discrimination: beatings, homelessness, disenfranchisemen, and so much bad. I see my trans brothers/sisters and their allies across the sea in India. I am so proud of them all. But I also hurt for them because I, too, know what it is like. I wish I could help them all somehow. But first, I must take care of myself to be in a position to help someone else. God bless us all. God knows our path isn't an easy one by far.

Here's the thing : As long as India has Dharmic majority, Transgender movement will continue to move in positive direction. The same cannot be said if Abrahamic religions become predominant.
How many trans people are actually in India? Probably less than 0.0000001% of their entire population. They (India) have developed a lot more in recent decades, but still a lot of poverty, likely food security issues as well which would seem to be more of a priority, but no -- let's distract by focusing on 'minuscule' side issues. Probably even issues of 'gender equality' for ACTUAL REAL WOMEN would take precedence as they certainly, vastly outnumber the transgender. Also, people act as if it is their RIGHT for someone to employ them, which is complete nonsense. No one owes anyone a job and there are countless examples throughout history of skilled and educated people being overlooked purely because of, say, their skin colour. The only way you are guaranteed a 'job' is to create that job yourself! You don't have to like it, that is just the plain truth. It is a privilege to be fortunate enough to land a well paying 'job', not in any way a guarantee or right.
@Angel Wilks So then you can be the trendsetter and start by creating businesses to hire them en-masse in your organisation. Or better yet, you are always free start up or fund a charitable trust to hire them. There's nothing stopping you, yes? So then go right ahead... more action and less virtue-signalling.
@Angel Wilks Nope, wrong! Still here, enjoying the beginning of the new year 😂😂. Nice try though. Liberals like you are too funny, jeeez! And hypocritical to boot. You pretend to be objective and 'open-minded' yet when there is an opinion contrary to yours, you try to censor and silence. Your hypocrisy is utterly contemptible!
On the one hand, worshiping as God, on the other hand, inhuman treatment was given. And to say tarangendar people have a lot of respect in our religion.
In India people mainly interact with Hijras(trans) when they travel on a train or when a child born in an Indian household (mainly in Hindus) and the hijra community comes to your house to bless your child, in both cases, they ask/or people voluntarily offer them money and they give them blessings in return (in Indian culture especially in Hinduism people believe that Trans/hijras are blessed and pure once and their blessings work). However, many times to extract money from you they harass/intimidate you by verbally abusing/cursing you, not leaving your place (or seat if you're on a train), or touching you if you're a man. Decades ago there were some extremely viral cases in the media that are still in talks and stories, where some people of the hijra community kidnapped children/newborns for money. That's why many people are scared of them in society. Don't have good views and always try to avoid them. Though I'm not supporting any kind of oppression against the Hijra/trans community, they are normal humans just like anyone else, always were and still are an important part of Indian society and culture, and have a special place in Hinduism and Dharma.
Beautifully presented, wonderfully explained. Transgender community must be given the equal rights and opportunities. They are also born to lead a normal lives like we all do.
I consider myself liberal and open-minded. But tbh, I never really thought much about the difficulties of Hizra (transgender) community in India. Thank you for this insightful video. I hope I will be able to work for transgender people in the future.
Actually, under BJP. We saw legalization of same sex marriage. Highest civilian award for trans woman. Government is very pro active in accepting this actually
If you’re referring to the Abrogation of section 377, which it seems like you are, the BJP did NOT preside over it. It was the Supreme Court of India Most BJP leaders expressed discontempt
@@prathameshbhat9816 Again, the fact that it happened under a BJP term means absolutely nothing. BJP was vehemently against the repeal of section 377. As late as 2016, the party position was _"homosexuality is a genetic disorder",_ so f off with your nonsense
@@prathameshbhat9816 The initiatives were taken by Congress and was completed by this party & now they claim the entire initiative to be taken by them. They spend more in advertisement than spending in ground.
If any country in the world can pave way for Trans people, it must be India, even India's main religion doesn't treat Trans people unlike other major religions to India's West.
I thought the world is now a safe place for the LGBTQ to live peacefully but just yesterday I heard some of my relatives talking about how they think LGBTQ to be a cycological problem. Hence we still have a long way to go guys.
After watching all this I feel that - is this the new India about which everyone was talking ,where one of the important community of Indian society is going through so much
One thing I feel wrong is that they come to ur house on the birth of any children in ur house and demand 1 lakhs rupees or 11k rupees which is very hard for a lower middle class people like me to give to them and especially without any reason for free.
That's outrageous! How is that even possible or justifiable? Is it a superstitious or religious thing, in which case it might start to make sense, still utterly intolerable nonetheless!
@@ea.charles9176 it's is traditional or cultural thing.in my point of view our ancestors decide this so they can get by.also presented a trans god .so they feel some sense and purpose in ancient Indian life.
Everyone born in this world have equal rights... to live a life that they like... to earn a job that they like. Thankyou for this video , which is such insightful..and throws light onto how the transgender community suffers to thrive in this world. Imagine the plight they are going through..that too dejection from the family at the first place...let there be a complete change to this soon🙏
Thank you for bringing out the truth of trans struggle in India being a trans woman myself in India ND able to live a decent life with education and job is still a distant dream for us trans
Can anyone familiar with organizations in India that we can support please share them below. This is the true side of intersectionality that the west needs to see. Progressive movements needs to be inclusive.
As a woman of colour who is from a country that 30 years ago didn't even view me as worthy of existing and having a place in society, I find it quite idiotic that one denies such people the right to exist and basic human rights , and I find it psychotically stomach churning that such people are brutally murdered for being who they are , I maybe cis but Trans people deserve the right to live as I do
This discrimination on the trans and intersex is seen in every country in the world. The torture done by the heterosexuals towards trans and intersex is pure evil.
i have a questions i cant find the answer to, if kinnars are called trans then what do we call the ones who change their gender afterwards , is their such thing as biologically trans. i hope i am not offending anyones feelings
Gender was never changed, only body is changed and that's called transition Kinnars are a community of female people who weren't born cisgender That's it, no matter if they were born that way or realized it later
Thanxx To Gazal Mam' You Make A Video From Transgender Is Good Decision But Most People Is Not Accept Transgender But One Of The Best Think He's journey Is Very Taf
I have respect for the trans community ! They deserve respect like any other human being. Their lives has been so tough…. The least we can do to make their lives easier is to accept them. Keep fighting! One day , society will be more understanding ! Do not loose hope! ❤

I am telling you truth they are asking in every colony where is new baby born then they going there with out any invitation and start singing and dancing then they will ask for money if you refuse they will threaten you and start removing their clothes and curse you as well this very common in india. And I am repeating my words no one wants them to come their house and sing and dance. What shame in this?
I really feel sorry for the trans community because people base a lot of initial gender identification on physical characteristics and since trans people usually don’t pass 100% they can often give off an “uncanny valley “ effect and I think this is where a lot of the fear, hatred and revulsion stems from. We need to treat trans people as people first regardless of the sex they born as, why can’t people just respect how they want to be treated, regardless of personal opinion on gender, it’s not that hard.
If you hire a trans person, say a man pretending to be a woman ,I'm the employer and now I have women complaining they don't want a man in their restrooms which is 100% their right and the trans person won't use the mens because he thinks he should be treated like a woman despite being 100% male . So as an employer I've got women complaining about the trans and then a trans threatening to sue me for prejudice what's the easiest solution ? Don't employ him simple as that .
@Mithilesh M It's not bias from employers it's protection . I worked personal protection for the biggest employer in the UK he explained it to me . It's the new race card, discrimination because I'm gay or trans or this or that . So unless I can have the same privilege, like an all white University( they have an all black University in America ) or have discrimination because I'm a heterosexual and a trans made a joke at my expense so therefore I want him fired and labelled a bigot ? then no you cannot have it adapted to suit your lifestyle or delusions . All the BS about misgendering someone, if your a man your a man ! No matter how long your hair or how pretty dress your wearing your a man and its my right to call you that without any victimisation but no one wants to see it that way . Nature is nature and you can't rewrite it ,mess with it or change it . Tired of you progressives trippy hippy lot .

@@tbird-z1r If that's the issue, our community could never be so liberal unlike Hindu community. I'm a Indian Christian from meghalaya ( north east India) & meghalaya do have a football team of transgender peoples. Here our society permits them even in sports. Then howcome you feel that they will be restricted in jobs. North East India excluding Assam is much liberal where Christians are the Majority community. And basically Religion has nothing to do with it. It depends upon the mentality of the individual. But you peoples do have a tendency to bring religion in every sphere. First your community should stop violent castism. Did you forget the Harthas incident ? Point your own community before looking on our Christian community. Indian Christian community is the most financially & educationally empowered community

I wanted to punch that sole trans so hard, and from now on i'll never support these kind of uneducated trans, if u are educated enough to live in the society fine, i dont have any problems, but if they are like this, i dont want them in our society to be accepted by people, i never hated them, but the incident today itself lit a fire of hatred for these illiterate trans. I will never give them my money anymore, my gf literally paid 300 to them in Connaught place because she said ki "inhe dena achi baat hoti hai, tum mat do i want to give them ", i just hate them now. LGBTQ is fine only if you educate among yourselves first.
@@jaya-squishiehuntr36 exactly, they don't beg, they come and ask for money like its our fucking duty to give them, just go and find some fucking work.

Nature accepts all, since nature is all. People however are not here to accept all, we have to be brutally honest with each other if we want to stay alive and prosper.
@@capturedflame I suppose you are making the point that nature does not accept those who use synthetic hormones and such. There is not much natural about it and I think nature does not like it. However it is the result of natural processes that humans are experimenting with this and nature will inevitably have to correct itself.

such a wonderful documentary, big fan of your work Ghazal, and in this new year lets all move towards more love and less judgement
One of the Best Documentaries ever seen explaining the logic that everyone needs to understand and accept.
People talk about women hasarment
But reality is hasarment on transgender
Whelp I cried. All people should be treated with respect, love and acceptance. It's ridiculous how cruel people are to their fellow person. How cruel parents can be to their own child. Horrid.
All the speakers were absolute bad-asses and I truly, truly only wish the best for them.
I met them in India and Pakistan- nothing wrong at all with them so why not show some tolerance
This made me cry. I'm thankful to everyone who helped make this video. I am a citizen of the USA. I have faced gross discrimination: beatings, homelessness, disenfranchisemen, and so much bad. I see my trans brothers/sisters and their allies across the sea in India. I am so proud of them all. But I also hurt for them because I, too, know what it is like. I wish I could help them all somehow. But first, I must take care of myself to be in a position to help someone else. God bless us all. God knows our path isn't an easy one by far.

Here's the thing : As long as India has Dharmic majority, Transgender movement will continue to move in positive direction. The same cannot be said if Abrahamic religions become predominant.
😊👋hi there skytombs.253.iam also in USA 🇺🇸
Govt should increase reservation percentage for transgenders...They shoud be treated equally as well...
No god please no. We in middle class suffer enough okay.
Also by introducing reservations, many trans people will suffer from harassment more
no not reservations....that is horrible idea
How many trans people are actually in India? Probably less than 0.0000001% of their entire population. They (India) have developed a lot more in recent decades, but still a lot of poverty, likely food security issues as well which would seem to be more of a priority, but no -- let's distract by focusing on 'minuscule' side issues. Probably even issues of 'gender equality' for ACTUAL REAL WOMEN would take precedence as they certainly, vastly outnumber the transgender. Also, people act as if it is their RIGHT for someone to employ them, which is complete nonsense. No one owes anyone a job and there are countless examples throughout history of skilled and educated people being overlooked purely because of, say, their skin colour. The only way you are guaranteed a 'job' is to create that job yourself! You don't have to like it, that is just the plain truth. It is a privilege to be fortunate enough to land a well paying 'job', not in any way a guarantee or right.
@Angel Wilks So then you can be the trendsetter and start by creating businesses to hire them en-masse in your organisation. Or better yet, you are always free start up or fund a charitable trust to hire them. There's nothing stopping you, yes? So then go right ahead... more action and less virtue-signalling.
Thank god someone with a functional brain in this comment section, HI
@Angel Wilks Nope, wrong! Still here, enjoying the beginning of the new year 😂😂. Nice try though. Liberals like you are too funny, jeeez! And hypocritical to boot. You pretend to be objective and 'open-minded' yet when there is an opinion contrary to yours, you try to censor and silence. Your hypocrisy is utterly contemptible!
@Angel Wilks Go right ahead. I'm still here, sweetie 😂
On the one hand, worshiping as God, on the other hand, inhuman treatment was given. And to say tarangendar people have a lot of respect in our religion.
Lots of love care and acceptance to the transgenders of the earth ❤
In India people mainly interact with Hijras(trans) when they travel on a train or when a child born in an Indian household (mainly in Hindus) and the hijra community comes to your house to bless your child, in both cases, they ask/or people voluntarily offer them money and they give them blessings in return (in Indian culture especially in Hinduism people believe that Trans/hijras are blessed and pure once and their blessings work).
However, many times to extract money from you they harass/intimidate you by verbally abusing/cursing you, not leaving your place (or seat if you're on a train), or touching you if you're a man. Decades ago there were some extremely viral cases in the media that are still in talks and stories, where some people of the hijra community kidnapped children/newborns for money. That's why many people are scared of them in society. Don't have good views and always try to avoid them.
Though I'm not supporting any kind of oppression against the Hijra/trans community, they are normal humans just like anyone else, always were and still are an important part of Indian society and culture, and have a special place in Hinduism and Dharma.
I'm crying now...this is the country where Buddha was born.

One thing I feel wrong is that they come to ur house on the birth of any children in ur house and demand 1 lakhs rupees or 11k rupees which is very hard for a lower middle class people like me to give to them and especially without any reason for free.

i have a questions i cant find the answer to, if kinnars are called trans then what do we call the ones who change their gender afterwards , is their such thing as biologically trans. i hope i am not offending anyones feelings
Gender was never changed, only body is changed and that's called transition
Kinnars are a community of female people who weren't born cisgender
That's it, no matter if they were born that way or realized it later

@@PHlophe I never want anyone dance on road for me and for dance I will pay. I am telling you truth they are asking in every colony where is new baby born then they going there with out any invitation and start singing and dancing then they will ask for money if you refuse they will threaten you and start removing their clothes and curse you as well this very common in india. And I am repeating my words no one wants them to come their house and sing and dance.
What shame in this?
I really feel sorry for the trans community because people base a lot of initial gender identification on physical characteristics and since trans people usually don’t pass 100% they can often give off an “uncanny valley “ effect and I think this is where a lot of the fear, hatred and revulsion stems from. We need to treat trans people as people first regardless of the sex they born as, why can’t people just respect how they want to be treated, regardless of personal opinion on gender, it’s not that hard.
yeah there's a reason for that mate
If you hire a trans person, say a man pretending to be a woman ,I'm the employer and now I have women complaining they don't want a man in their restrooms which is 100% their right and the trans person won't use the mens because he thinks he should be treated like a woman despite being 100% male . So as an employer I've got women complaining about the trans and then a trans threatening to sue me for prejudice what's the easiest solution ? Don't employ him simple as that .
@@SIGSEGV1337 there’s a reason for everything, my point still stands.
@Mithilesh M It's not bias from employers it's protection . I worked personal protection for the biggest employer in the UK he explained it to me . It's the new race card, discrimination because I'm gay or trans or this or that . So unless I can have the same privilege, like an all white University( they have an all black University in America ) or have discrimination because I'm a heterosexual and a trans made a joke at my expense so therefore I want him fired and labelled a bigot ? then no you cannot have it adapted to suit your lifestyle or delusions . All the BS about misgendering someone, if your a man your a man ! No matter how long your hair or how pretty dress your wearing your a man and its my right to call you that without any victimisation but no one wants to see it that way . Nature is nature and you can't rewrite it ,mess with it or change it . Tired of you progressives trippy hippy lot .
