TRANSGENDER
Today
where we talk about human equality , is there really equality between humans
and human rights. You must be thinking I am taking about Men and Women equality , no I am talking
about the Third gender, bisexual, lesbian, gay(Transgender) in India they are
well known as (Kenner’s).
Whenever
we usually travel by Public transport we
come across such people & we treat them as such as they are from another
planet , as they are some aliens. They are as us only just there gender is not
justified ,we treat them as different people or we do not consider them as
humans. Why so?
Why we
say that they are so ill people ? They are also humans ,they also come from
different walks of life , they are also someone’s dad ,mom son, brother, husband
. They are our co workers , neighbors and many more.
Today
everywhere heated argument is their about the Transgender specially on social
media.
Meaning of Transgender
Transgender
means ‘trans’ is an umbrella for the people whose identity or the sex is not
determined in the society. Although there gander is defined in 21st
century , but still they are existed from every culture of the society.
Such
people out of fear feel homosexual as shameful thing.
Consequences faced by Transgender
People
Transgender
(Third gender) were facing and are still facing many consequences since ancient
India. Caste discrimination as well as gender discrimination has a strong
presence in our country specially in rural areas.
As
transgender face rejection not only from the society but they also face
rejection from families for same-sex marriage. Marrying a same sex person is not a criminal offence under Indian
Penal code.
Transgender
people also face the problem of legal protection , they also face the
consequences of harassment not only from the families but also from society.
Legal Role
There
were many reports of harassment ,abuse , violence against the Transgender. Recently a bill was passed by parliament to
propose the act and protect the dignity and self-esteem of the third gender in
family as well as society.
The bill
was introduced by Lok Sabha on 19 July 2019
by Minister of Social Justice and Welfare with the help of bill of Human Rights
on transgender 2018. The bill of 2016 and 2018 had lot of criticism , holding
the protest against the transgender the bill was tabled and passed by Lok Sabha
on 5th August 2019 .
The
Transgender Person(Protection of Right)Bill 2019, seeks to provide mechanism for social , economic
and educational empowerment of transgender and was passed by Rajya Sabha by Social
Justice and Empowerment Minister on 20 November 2019.
Living Conditions OF Transgender
The
living conditions of the transgender was bit
improved due to the help provided by the communities in metro cities
like Mumbai ,Bangalore, Chennai and Kochi.
In Mumbai there is an avenue who works to meet the rights and help for
transgender (Gay Bombay),In Bangalore(Good as you), in Delhi (Harmless Hugs)
and many more.
Case Studies
·
In early 2018,
a lesbian couple committed suicide and left a note reading: "We have left
this world to live with each other. The world did not allow us to stay
together."
·
In 2003, a hijra was gang-raped in Bangalore, and then gang-raped by the police.
·
. In 2011, a Haryana lesbian couple was murdered by their nephews for being in
an "immoral" relationship.
According
to Ministry of health and family welfare in 2017 it is rightly said that "Yes,
adolescents can fall in love. They have attraction for a friend or any individual of
the same or opposite sex. It is normal to have special feelings for someone. It
is important for adolescents to understand that such relationships are based on
mutual consent, trust, transparency and respect. It is alright to talk about
such feelings to the person for whom you have them but always in a respectful
manner.”
Statistics
If I talk
about the statistics less than 35% people are in favor or I must say in
support with the third gender wherein their feelings or self Esteem is
protected and respected. The people have forgot they too are humans and need to
be protected and respected as humans.
Respect
of the Kenner’s ( Third gender) was very necessary specially in Indian, therein
17th May is celebrated all over the world as International Bisexual
day ,to protect and respect the
self-esteem and feelings of Transgender.
