GENDER isn't congruent to physicality - Facts over Myths

GENDER isn't congruent to physicality -  Facts over Myths 

It is the twenty-first century and we are still having arduous thinking that gender is something that is totally based on our sex organs, which I find ridiculous and is absolutely not true. In this vast world, people have different emotions as they are unique in their own way. A secular country like India still has difficulty in accepting another human being with different sexuality. Many terms it a sin or taboo which is again a showcase of the devilish nature of humans, just filth! 

According to statistical data, 3% of the Indian Population identify as homosexual (Including Gay and Lesbian), 9% identify as bisexual, 1% identify as pansexual and 2% identify as asexual, but still most of the people of India either find it a shameful or a serious disorder, IT ISN'T A DISORDER. 

Well, it's high time that we should start treating the members of LGBTQ+ as a human, not as sinners or mentally retarded people. For instance, if a boy is born in India society gives him the title that he is a boy, will be a man in future, will marry a girl and will have kids and have a happy life, but WAIT nobody tried to ask that kid when grows old that whom he likes, what's his choice, with whom he wants to spend his life. At last, if things don't work he is forced to suppress his desires and his likings and is bound to marry a girl with whom he even cant be ONE. 

But the thing is why didn't he tell his parents bout' his likings and desires? and the reason is that even though he had supportive parents, they might have supported him in all of his experiences, but still, he lacked courage and had fear and he was labelled with a tag of physicality that he is a boy. 

PlanetRomeo, a dating site for gay, bisexual and transgender men, conducted a survey that aimed to discover more about the Indian LGBT community following the nation’s historic repeal of Section 377 in September 2018. The survey asked 3,392 gay men if they have a wife. Around 28% of these men say their wife doesn’t know they’re gay and 71% don’t plan to come out. It is just because society has so strong claws that it tags everyone and has bought each one's soul. 

However, LGBTQ individuals, many experience a fair share of difficulty and abuse and later it takes many forms, from the subtle to the outright homophobic. Inaccurate assumptions, name-calling, dirty looks, and lectures from perfect strangers can be profoundly troubling and are a stark reminder of the stressors of being a member of the LGBTQ community. Sometimes because of such incongruence individuals are bound to commit suicide, Not my fault, I was born gay: a 19-year-old commits suicide over homophobia https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/gay-man-suicide-homophobia-lgbt-helplines-1565041-2019-07-09 . This story of Avinshu clearly makes it clear that in India still, society considers GENDER ON THE BASIS OF PHYSICALITY, which needs to change and surely it will.  GENDER ISN'T CONGRUENT TO PHYSICALITY.
