Do these people go through anything in society?(I personally had a problem similar to this, I looked like a baby up till the 12th grade. 😛) Anyway,I remember there was a girl who looked like a man, and no one was her friend. One eyebrow, slight mustache, sad. I felt sorry for her :( Also some guy's voice was like a girl and he used to be made fun of. He also had feminine features, like that "all the single ladies football team guy" in glee.

I don't think people should mistreat or single out such people.

Anyway, have any of you ever met such people and have these ppl been treated with respect/equality?

elaborate.

Any kind of activity that involves making fun of others in an offensive, hurtful and distasteful manner is wrong. It's worse if it is done for things like ones nationality, behavior, appearance, etc, basically things one that has no control over.

Most people do the teasing sportingly, or "just for fun", but it's wrong nonetheless. Unfortunately, most of these cases go unnoticed. I feel legal actions should be taken against any form of harassment, be it physical or otherwise. The only difference with teasing and physical harassment is that with teasing, you don't violate any physical boundary that is immediately visible to the human eyes, but from a psychological perspective, it is just as, if not more, harmful for an individual's esteem and growth. It can totally and completely shatter a person, destroy the faith one has in himself.

As for your topic, nope, haven't really crossed my path with any such people (with a few exceptions maybe). Nevertheless, the gender issue is one of the major problems South Asian countries face.

We don't have the right to insult a person for any weakness of them.I have seen some cases like this where these people are harrassed s much that they commit suicide.I think we should not discriminate these people from others.

there is a fine line between what we know "should NOT be done" and "what we supposedly CANNOT stop ourselves from doing"....here we all are babbling away on the need to excercise respect for the Marginalized Sexual Sections of the society, on the other hand, as soon as we log off and go out onto the street, we wont be able to stop ourselves from gawking or chuckling at someone who distictively "stands out" in the crowd.....most of the time, its not even intentional on the watcher's part....sad but true. We have been conditioned to think and react thataway.

Somebody insults you .... listen to it in full awareness..... you will be surprised .... the insult is no more an insult. You may even smile. It does not hurt.... it hurts only when received in unawareness. Somebody praises and appreciates you .....listen with alertness. And then nobody can persuade you to do foolish things. Nobody can bribe you... flattery becomes impossible.... You will smile at the whole nonsense...😃

About looks and thoughts,Women have been forced to play the role of women 24 hours... and men have been forced to play the role of men 24 hours...I believe every person, whether man or woman, is born of a father and of a mother.... Half of his being is contributed by man and half by woman, so everybody is both. If you are a man, thn the man is on top &underneath it, hidden, are all the feminine qualities, the contribution frm ur mother.... If you are a woman, then your feminine qualities are on top and your male qualities are underneath it.... that is the contribution of your father.... And there is no need of any conflict between u, becos you are man and woman together, simultaneously....So its natural,sometimes in a rage a woman becomes more dangerous than a man, and sometimes in soft moments a man is more loving than any woman...I just wanna say Both genders are unique, Rejoice in your feminine and manly qualities...& guys stop wearing their sisters faggety skinny jeans and dont do the feminine haircuts....be natural..😆😉
