Kushinagar/ Uttar Pradesh- The life of transgender people is mysterious. Saavan Sahitya Seva Sadan takes up research-based initiatives to honour transgender people. We met the transgender community and shared our thoughts. A transgender sister named Khushboo loved, cherished and played with my daughter, Suprati.
She expressed her grief to my wife, Preeti Chaurasia, saying, "We are also like all of you, but mother nature did not give us the ability to become mothers." She shared that she has adopted a child, whom she is raising with love, and her husband also loves her. She expressed her happiness by showing her lovely pictures of her husband and son on her mobile phone.
The transgender sister expressed her grief to my mother, Urmila Devi and sister, Priyanka, saying, “Our blood is the same as all of you, yet society discriminates against us. This mistreatment is very painful.” We should consider the painful feelings of that transgender sister and improve our behavior. It is the biggest tragedy to prove ourselves equal and respectable by giving blood as an example.
I have written poems dedicated to transgender people. She was very happy to read the poem “I am a hardworking transgender”. She also enjoyed the insightful article “The pain of a transgender, our sympathy”. Her life was adorned and decorated with education.
By meeting the transgender community with my family, I tried to experience their lives closely. When we meet transgender people with respect, they also meet us with courtesy and talk to us very politely. Giving importance increases our importance. Accepting someone as our own increases our sense of belonging.
He expressed great joy and blessed my wife, daughter, sister and mother together. It was also a golden opportunity to open a new chapter in our lives by joining the transgender family. Through our conversations, we learned that he had a good knowledge of Hindi, Bhojpuri and English. I was very happy.
