Abstract :
This world is extremely beautiful. The almighty has bedecked it very cautiously and meticulously with varied shades, colours, species and kinds. There exists a third gender in this beautiful world that is either altogether alienated or detested. Society does not accept them. Fathers consider it to be ai defamation in society. Mothers reluctantly let such go out of their own home. They are not allowed to get education, there are no job opportunities for them, and they are not accepted whole-heartedly. They are compelled to work as sex workers or to beg at public places and in public transportations. Such children have female elements in them. They would feel like playing with dolls and the like toys, but the parents would not allow them. Their playing with other children is a big issue, life at school is a big question mark, they would be expelled from their home - identity crisis - begging in trains and buses - they take birth like other children, they are like other human beings - gender is secondary - it must be understood. Many of them feel like they should be given identity cards and fundamental rights like other human beings.
