Congratulations, way to go and you look gorgeous. Love it! Let’s do the same here in the US, allow anyone who is qualified, no matter what, the opportunity to shine.

It must be terrifying for her to be openly transgender in her community. Bengalis are generally very peaceful but transgenderism is a foreign concept to many. Hopefully she stays safe.

[@heidiwaits6987]

I mean this sincerely, we all have to stop bickering with each other. What about this scares you so much? Have you also experienced trying to get a job by being required to publicize your sexuality and preferences to the ENTIRE planet? Then put yourself out there, in front of that public, knowing FULL well, people like you just want to tear you and your dreams down? The possibility of complete and utter rejection for the essence of who you are? I hope you can see the basis of what this is. This is INCREDIBLE COURAGE and should be celebrated, encouraged. Imagine if this person was your child? How would you feel? Would you want your child to forever live in fear and shame of being who they truly are? How does one person’s bedroom habits, sexuality, impact anyone else? When are we going to stop letting fear and ignorance dictate/control our thoughts and narrative. Everyone has the right to be true to themselves and live out there destiny, to share their gifts and talents with the world in the format that provides them self love...because if we cannot learn to love and accept ourselves, then we will never learn to love and accept others around us. I truly hope for you that one day you discover that love for yourself, so you can step out of the shadows of your story, and discover there are so many amazing souls in this world, full of love and inspiration, and that despite your comment, will still forgive, love and embrace you. So just drop your story and join us. Here we TRULY DO stand together and no government, corporation, religion can take that from us. No more “divide and conquer”. Instead, “ United we stand.”💗
