India: Terrors of the third gender!

"India is home to a large number of eunuchs, castrated men required to
perform specific social function. But now a days, they are involved in
gruesome crimes like castrating males forcibly, rob unwary people and
cajole people in public places."

I'm glad I don't live in India, for this one reason: I would quickly get so sick of being labeled "third gender" I'd be mad enough to castrate the next dude who called me that.

And that journalist is a bigoted ignorant jerk.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride
