To Err is Godly?

Its not a weird topic, it rather, a sad one...

Its about the she males or 3rd gender or transgender or whatever you call them as...

I happened to travel in an express train... The journey was quite okay until these persons arrived as a gang, who were men by voices and face, but women by body and heart... They were begging for money... I had no mind to give them money and encourage what they do.. But, when i heard one among the gang speaking to someone who actually scolded him/her, i was really feeling pity for them..

She/He was cribbing over the difficulties that they face... Here it goes : They are looked upon as a creature, rather than a human being. They are not given the privileges that a normal human being could enjoy... They are not given due consideration in anyplace: Be it temple, buses, trains and the basic necessities, even toilets... As the person was speaking i was held up in my own thoughts with a lot of questions...

Is that not true that, some of us are one among the persons who treat them in a cruel manner? Why does the society not approve their feelings? Persons who have their physical disabilities have their own privilige.. But these transgender, who are physically, mentally and socially disabled are not given any due consideration, why? How many of us would let a transgender person rent our house? How many of us would sit near a transgender person in a bus or a train without any hesitation? How many of us would let a transgender person use the public rest rooms without panicking? How many of the parents would understand and accept if his/ her shild is a transgender? how many of us would not give a strange glare when they walk about in the street? How many of us would educate our children that they are human beings and not to get scared of them? How many of us will treat them with due respect and call them "He/She" but not "it"? Do they not have every right that a human being has?

Even the media behaves in a strange way in their regards. How many film songs have portrayed them like cheap people and teased them by using inappropriate names to reperesent them... :rant

Is it not only because the society that they are pushed to lead a painful life as a sex worker or a beggar or other cheap living?
If they were treated as human beings and given their own oppurtunities, wouldnt tey have become stars like many of us?

Is it not the almighty's mistake to have created them with this fault...We have exchange system for defective manufacturing... I wish these transgender people have that facility for their lives... To err is human, but is definitely not Godly.... Why does God have to make a mistake when he creates these poor people and send them to the world....?!!

By the time i had these thoughts running in my mind, i could see that i had arrived at my place...i had to move on, but i could still hear the gang clapping and begging for money... I reached home with a heavy heart with the questions lingering in my mind.. The least i could do is to pray to God for them...
