When we talk about gender, we think about the physicality associated with the word. This is the very first thing that comes to our mind. But the gender bias as well as the gender taboo that exists today still pose a question to the depth of our thought we are having..
Apart from the male and female gender, there is also a third gender. But for many years this gender has been tabooed and not given the equal focus as the other two gender.
The male gender is considered to be the first gender and the women folk had to run a long battle to get its importance and equal rights after combatting with the first gender. So its after a long struggle that women are enjoying the rights which they were not allowed before.
Now also the female gender undergoes many discriminations and issues or else there would not be the female 'foeticide' and girls getting killed by the in-laws for dowry. There still exists this taboo related with the gender like female and the third gender.
Even after a long battle female gender still finds it difficult to handle the society but much work has been done or at least steps have been taken to mitigate the different issues related with the female gender. So being a woman was like a taboo or else there would not exist the 'Sati Pratha'.
In a family where girls would be born, people used to consider that unlucky because they would have to raise the girl and also get her married with a dowry, so that process was made by the society which caused people to think, that girls are a curse. They never blamed the system of the society which treated the girls as a curse. but still after long years of struggle, women folk are rising for their rights and are getting also success to a great level.
Now there is also another gender and that is the third gender. The third gender is still finding it difficult to fit with the thoughts and laws of the society. Though there are lots of trans personalities who are fighting this battle and are really making praiseworthy achievements in fields of education, fashion, art and science but still there are huge number of people who are not getting a quality life. They are constantly discriminated by the top class aristocrats . There is a constant politics going on to discriminate the third gender, because they lack the power. But this should not be the way.
We are human beings and our gender should not be our only identity. Our character, mind, behavior, education, talent should speak about our personality. And above all things, the humanity within us should decide our value in the society and not our physical look or our so called 'gender’.
