Transgenders: 'United, we stand alone'

http://tribune.com.pk/story/88179/transgenders-united-we-stand-alone/

KARACHI: "Even when united, transgenders in the country stand alone in their fights for equal rights in society," says Bebo, a transgender worker in the Cantonment Board, Clifton's tax recovery department. "Even our families do not accept us they way we are."

Bebo was addressing a press conference at the press club on Thursday which was organised for transgenders to raise their voice on Human Rights Day.

"They expect us to be quiet and behave like either a male or a female so that no one outside the family would find out," she says.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
