In my country transgenders are treated like animals. Their families give them up and they are raised by groups of transgenders living together, who raise them as their own. They are forced to beg, dance or sell their bodies in order to earn a living. They are looked down upon by the society because of their profession, but it's the society itself who has left them no choice.They are normally bullied, beaten and raped. In spite all of this they manage to put a smile on their face and live their life. In our society they are referred to as 'khawajasira' or 'khusra'. They have no job opportunities and until recently they were not even recognized as legal citizens. A lot of them have been fighting for their rights and they have succeeded to some extent, but honestly their is a long way to go.

I guess that you are from India? You should probably say that in your post, so we know what you're talking about. I heard about these people when I was in India. Actually, I saw some of them. We were told that they are referred to as the third gender. We heard that they are considered to be in their own class. People told us that sometimes they come to weddings and the people think it can be a curse for them to be there. To get them to leave they pay them money. It's really sad that they are so oppressed. It's nice that they usually group together, so they have a community. I don't think that happens in all countries.
