Embrace Everyone!

Every entity has 2 sections to it.

Day and Night; Good and Bad;

Bright and Dark; Black and white;

Every coin has 2 sides to it; Agreed. But does the 2 sides alone make the coin complete? Hmmm?

There is a small layer in between those two layers of the coin which also constitutes to the completeness of the coin. Between day and night, there is a time named evening which is a transition from day to night. Between good and bad, there is something called neutral. Between bright and dark, there is translucency. Between black and white, there is grey, which is a combination of both white and black. The transition layer is also natural and normal. It is an obvious but a non-prominent layer. It completes the entity giving it a final touch.

But is this important section given its due importance? In all the genres of its presence?

Trans people form a very minimum % of our society. They have kept themselves hidden from the limelight to escape the scornful tease and ubiquitous torture. They are made to believe that they are abnormal and are dirty part of human race. They are convinced that their creation was a mistake and are not gifted enough to be a part of the norm. But is it necessary to be a part of the usual-mediocre-most-group always?

Being in the scanty population is not wrong and something to be depressed about. But where did these people inherit the insecure and incomplete feeling from?

Weren’t we the ones who looked at them in a different way?

Weren’t we the ones who made them feel odd?

Weren’t we the ones who looked down at them?

Weren’t we the ones who broke their peace?

Say the society is divided into 3 sections; men, women and trans. While the first two constitute to 98%, the latter constitutes to the so minimal 2%. We are in an age which is seeing women, who constitute to almost 50% of the whole, moving out of homes to pursue their interests. But there aren’t social structures which can support their new born or kids, as we have moved out of the joint family structures.

When there is lack of amenities to assist the-50%-of-the-whole, women, what is the state of the minimal minority, the trans? They neither have social features to embrace them nor they have exposure and openings to learn from. They are being devoid of any possibility of their improvement.

They have nowhere to go and none to speak to except for their own lot. We complain that they are being harsh on themselves and handling self without esteem. We brood that they have spoiled their lives by not striving higher. Is it only their means and methods which caused them trouble?

Is it only them? Don’t we have any role to play in their lives? Didn’t we complicate their lives?

It should have been us the majority, who should have shared our openings with them and embraced them as norm. We should have eased their way out by not handling them in a weird manner.

In the contemporary society, though transgenders strive to perfection and success, the tag that they carry ‘Trans-gender’, takes them so away from the opportunities. It stops them from attaining greater heights. There are trans-genders who have taken the discomfort that we have inculcated against them, to demand money. If this continues, trans people will become the most mentally vulnerable and socially intolerable people.

We as a part of the majority, should first remove the mental obstruction which we have created over the span that trans-gender people are abnormal. We should acknowledge and respect them as norm. We should remove the negative feeling along the word transgenders. They should be endowed with greater openings and opportunities.

We should give due respect to the non-obvious but natural section of the society so that the next generations grow hand in hand with them, acknowledging them as normal human beings. Embracing all people is the only means by which we can create a happy tolerant healthy society!


Live and let live!!
