Title: Transgender: Entrapped life
Post by: tinkerbell on December 19, 2006, 06:03:25 PM
QuoteFabricated with rotten beliefs, a disproportionate social structure has hardly anything to offer to the transgender community. Instead it takes away from them their right of living a respectable life.

Quote(The life of a transsexual) starts with the broken dreams of parents, family isolation, social boycott, abuses and tortures, low profile status and in many cases ends with a suicide. Religious institutions do not protect them, legal institutions do not protect them, social institutions do not protect them. They are most vulnerable to exploitation, their grievances go unheard and they come and go as if never born. One very surprising fact, which reveals the ugly face of the educated and civilized elite, is that very few cases of transgender orientation are found in these families. To put it into a pragmatic question would be like asking – Do upper classes let their sexually disoriented children live?

Oh, tinkerbell. I just cried and cried reading this.
