Thanks for sharing, Neha!

This was so heartbreaking to read, but I feel Noori and the struggle she must have gone through just because of societal conditioning. I remember when we were kids we would be told by our elders not to engage with hijras because they were after kids and were told we should run away if we came across them. There was also another common misconception that if you don't give a hijra money when they ask for it, they'll curse you and their curse always come true!

But on the other hand, they were also considered good luck, especially if there was a newborn baby and they would be specially invited to give the baby their blessings! I fail to understand these kinds of blatant misconceptions and superstitions around a whole group of people that were given credence by society!

It was heartbreaking to read about the prejudice that Mumbai hands out to trans people! It's my city, I was raised there, so it's all the more upsetting for me. But then Chennai is my city too, and I'm glad Noori was able to find her solace there.

I hope society has changed somewhat in this respect at least now. Is this a recent article or a dated one?

Not really.

It is an excerpt from recently published book:
