Transsexuals need our compassionate understand, not armchair moralising

Transsexuals in Malaysia cannot look for decent jobs as women since
they're not officially recognised as such, and prostitution puts them
at the mercy of the police. Thus they are in a no man's land, living
in daily dread of being arrested and humiliated.

I almost could not watch the documentary as I did not book the tickets
beforehand. Suhana saved the day by passing me an extra ticket. A
simple yet rich gesture. That's the grace and dignity with which these
ladies live their lives, regardless of society and religion's
inhumanity towards them.
