Do you support “third gender” status for transgender?

Transgender groups are one of the most ignored groups in India. Whenever the families come to know about the reality of their child, they find it better to shun the child. Also, transgenders have to suffer innumerable problems in their life. Whether it is education, career or basic living rights, they are denied of equality. Seeing the miserable conditions of transgender, the Supreme Court decided to recognize transgender as third sex in India. Do you support the ruling of Supreme Court?

Yes/

• As nature has made males and females, similarly nature has created transgender, and therefore, they should get the third sex status.

• When people think it important to treat animals with care, why transgender have to suffer the humiliation. After all, they also breathe like other living things.

• Coming to reservation, when the normal people who belong to special quotas are given special reservation, why should transgender denied of reservations?

• Like other people, transgenders also need some respectful source of living and it is possible only when they are recognized in society.

• The impact of ruling is visible as Padmini Prakash becomes first transgender newsreader after the court gave its verdict.

• Transgender face several problems like denial of housing, illegal detention, sex work and many others, which can be put to an end by giving them equal rights in society.

No

• Parents do not shun the children who come under the community of transgender; instead it is the community itself who take those children forcefully from the respective family.

• As the reservation for the OBC and other special categories is not justified, the reservation for transgenders is not justified.

• Transgenders don’t want to be a part of normal society and therefore, no law can forcefully make them as an integral part of society.

• India is a democratic country and everyone deserves equal right by basic law. There is no need to formulate a special law for transgenders.

• Transgenders are already considered as out of society and recognizing them as third gender is in no way different than the normal behavior.

Conclusion

India is a place where discrimination prevails on basis of several factors. Some are discriminated on basis of color; some are discriminated on basis of caste and some on the basis of sex. In a country, where women have to fight for her rights, how can someone expect transgender to get equal rights? The court ruling is justified as it will at least force the companies and educational institutes to consider transgender applicants and provide them with job and education.
