Forgotten lives (Transgender)
Who am I? This is a question that many people ask me. I wonder if those viewers don't see that I am a human being. This question wreaks havoc on me. Why am I like this in the end? Why don't I have an identity? Why don't I have the right to live like everyone else?
Being
transgender is not a person's personal choice, it is by nature. But our
conservative society fails to understand this. In our society, they are held to
the lowest level of truth and honour. A society is considered intellectual only
when it treats everyone equally. But on the contrary, in our society, they are
rejected in all matters. Whether it is a matter of education, a matter of
working in a place of honour, a matter of sexual violence or abuse, health and
protection, a matter of participating in any political or economic activity, be
understand that in every matter of life our Society pushes them away. Even the
birth of transgender is considered a sign of disrespect and parents themselves
leave their children in their community knowing that they have no future there.
Transgender have always been in the history of the world, yet people do not
understand it. There are such stereotypes all over the world. Because of these
ideas, there is constant oppression on society. Even the educated class of the
country does not allow their children to talk to transgender, their passing is
also considered imperfect.
Islam has given equal rights to all but on the contrary
our society does not give transgender the basic right to live. The society
does not give them the respect they deserve, and thus the message of Islam is
not followed. Even Saudi Arabia banned visas for transgender people on
religious pilgrimages. Does the government have the right to ban them
from performing Hajj? This community has always been ignored by the
government and the local community.
It is true that the transgender community is mistreated
but the way they try to make money is not commendable. They usually
earn money by begging at traffic signals, roaming the streets and begging at
home doors. When someone is born and married, they dance to the song. Not all of
these ways of earning money are respectable. But the biggest reason for them to do so is
'us'. We do not
accept them standing by us. Do not give the opportunity to study in school and
university. Where the people of the society earns a living, they are not given
a chance to work with dignity. That is why dancing is the only source of
income for them.
As human beings, as Muslims, it becomes our duty that we do not
underestimate them, give them equal rights in every aspect of life. Every
government in the world should come forward and support this community. And parents
should, instead of feeling stigmatized at birth make them educated so that they can make the
best decision about their future.
