They don't want normal jobs or life most of nowadays they do is dance, tiktok, reels sexualize content that's why, some of them are nice person else arrange a marriage and see when they'll ask 51,000₹ or get naked in front of your family, don't make any judgements by just watching a scripted video..

As a Muslim, I have one God, and my religious teachings, which are good for humanity, are that God’s creation cannot be changed. The greatest thing is that God breathed His spirit into you and shaped your body no matter what it looks like. Are you in your right mind to change what He made for you? Do you object simply because of your sexual desires?!

Pure and Inspirational. The first video in a long time I heard of someone speaking "pure and proper" Hindi (unadulterated and using very little English words). I heard Hindi and not Hinglish. Kudos to creative team of BBC India in making this classic, informative and eye opening mini-documentary of "rare gem Khushi Shaikh". Lesson learnt: A person is a person, no matter what their gender be. As equal as any other human being. Thank you. Comment from Athens, Greece. 🙏🌻

I am also a transwomen. I started my transition during 2021 because that time I got independent . My family loves me a lot after I made them understand about my identity . I also had had life threatening events in my life . Abused by society , beaten in school . I was depressed since 13 years of my age asking god every night why did not he take me to his home . I did not want to live on this planet . I have got very loving and caring parents . They understood me overtime . I was also rejected from my job last year because of my idenity . I was unemployed for 7 months straight but in these seven months, I learned freelancing and doing better than my jobs in my life . I hope one day I will be a beautiful girl 🥰🙏
