Thank you for this video. She donated kidney to one of her neighbour’s children, if this story was brought up in this video it would have been much more better. Thank you for this video and Aum penjo keep inspiring us. Much love and support to you.

[@chimmizangmo6171]

So sweet of her...bless her 💘

[@samtenwangcuk8794]

She's really nice. Me and a friend went to buy porridge from her and my friend was holding 3 cups of porridge and then after paying he dropped all 3 porridge he was holding. Then she gave another 3 cups to us for free.

[@sherabnamgay8888]

Aum Penjor is so innocent. I wish to be her porridge customer as soon as she resumes her business. May god bless her!

[@PS-gv8ic]

Aeeiii Penjore. I love her spirits. TY NZ for bringing up such shows.

[@sonamrinchen4478]

Thank you the entire team who brought us this episode of queertalks. Aum Penjor is already my favorite. She sends out so much positivity and kindness, I love her. ♡♡♡

[@nimme9179]

So happy how real and happy Aum Penjor is . She’s so down to earth and the fact that she wants others to be happy is such a nice thought!✨ Much love 🤍

[@sonamchoki3433]

Aum Penjor is so funny. Though her story made my eyes filled with tear but still she makes me smile.

[@ChhodeysLyf]

I know Aue Penjor as a Man since my younger days being Aue's neighbor and in 2019 I met Aue in town after many years. Talked and shared about the transformation. Still I see Aue as a great, friendly, funny, kind, jolly and a true living soul who wants to breathe and live the new life. Tk Aue and thank you Mam NZ for hosting to make sure that people will understand them, respect and treat equally as human.

[@tsheringzangmo7049]

Lots of love for Aum Penjor...enjoyed watching. Keep going Aum Penjor 💞

[@sonamseecee638]

Such a pure hearted person, You deserve to be the happiest person in this whole world, keep up ur spirit and soar high like an eagle❤️

[@tsheringchoki7517]

Aii! What a kind soul. Best wishes in whatever you do. You have our support. Thank you Namgay Zam, for always supporting the needy ones. Keep up the great work.

[@plhamo127]

Thank you Aum Penjor for sharing your inspiring story ❤here. Your words are both true & kind. God bless 🙏 you.

[@kelza1983]

So raw and so pure. ✨🦋 She’s a ⭐️

[@tshering9093]

Really appreciate you lady penjor , good luck and be the best of who u are. Namgay Zam you have always been such a great woman in our country.❤️❤️🙏

[@Me2yota]

I m not Bhutanese but I am in awe of this lady. Love Bhutan and Bhutanese people

[@cindy_bae1173]

To be honest Ashim Namgay zam is doing so much for everyone and I respect 💜 People says and tells so many about her which isn’t a good thing yet she is so strong And regarding our lgbt 🏳️‍🌈 aum penjore I am so proud and I hope you get every happiness and love from everyone and to the other humans whose being going through. Loved the way she is and the decent way of talking and I even think Bhutanese society is full of gossipers and always sets a negative mind of thinking that eating a porridge is a bad thing to eat from Lgbtq 🏳️‍⚧️ which should be now stopped and ateleast support them 🙏🏻 Place yourself in someone’ else shoe and atleast respect ✊ Best wishes la Wish there are sports women talk with Ashim namz and events so that we could also know people who are strong and are keeping their self breaking the feminism which isn’t happening in our country so only Ashim Namgay can. I loved this and I hope sports will be a hit to break the feminism in bhutan 🇧🇹 I think there’s needs to more empowerment talks and videos la Hoping for more similar different topic

[@sangaywangdi2065]

Aum Zam speaks her mind so so clearly 🙄 I realy appreciate her...it seems emotional,frank n very interesting person

[@niki-g3415]

She’s such a pure soul❤️ no filters❤️❤️❤️

[@sompyyyy]

She is such a wholesome person. The only thing, it would've been heaps better if the interview was in Dzongkha. She could've shared more of her experiences without feeling the need to speak English. Her limited vocabulary felt like she wanted to say and share so much more but was limited to the words that she knew. Just an opinion la. Great video nonetheless!

[@queervoicesofbhutan4939]

We actually wanted to do the whole interview in Dzongkha. It was aum Penjor decision to do the interview in both English and Dzongkha.

[@dupthopkezang5054]

Much better than other Bhutanese programs. Happy soul.

[@sangaychoden2244]

It would have been more convinent if this interview was in dzongkha.she could have shared more of her experience. Since its in English I think she is finding Lil bit difficultly in sharing. Dzongkha interview part was perfect. 👍

[@jamyangchoden9391]

I wish the interview was in Dzongkha. She would have been more open and expressive.

[@queervoicesofbhutan4939]

We also agree with you on this as the actual Interview was planned in Dzongkha. It was Aum Penjor decision to do the interview in English and Dzongkha.

[@dragontrowa9718]

I love aim penjor ..she got such a lovely personality..wishing her a great life ahead

[@peldenwangmo5964]

Aii..aum Penjor I like you. U r so interesting and kind hearted. Straight forward. U have all the qualities that a good human being should have.

[@regitareggg]

This interview and she made me feel so happy☺💓🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 more love to aum and our LGBTQA+ community in Bhutan. 🙏💓 We are heading in the right direction.

[@shundiaries]

Couldn't have been better initiative than this. We are proud Bhutanese to see this proud stage . Thank you to madam Namgay Zam and all

[@herethere2028]

This is the best Bhutanese interview video I ever watched. ❤️❤️❤️

[@decs357]

This is amazing, love the direction that Bhutan is headed in ❤️

[@O_oopppoppp]

Zaiii,,, still she is like when I saw her back in those days aieeee... huge respect aum Penjore.... hope once see her again

[@kuenleygd2203]

I feel like a neutral ground should be set and in this case, speaking in dzongkha would have given her a great chance to express her clearly la. Although I understand there might be other people besides Bhutanese who might watch this but maybe subtitles could be included. But I don’t mean any offense, I’m very thankful for mam to take such initiatives and as a supporter, I’m all for gender equality la. And aum penjor, met her, such a nice lady .

[@sonamdema7568]

Really enjoyed this talk and loved how namgay zam made her comfortable and asked interesting questions.

[@toby2045]

I had a great time watching this. Such a strong person you are 🙏

[@tikashapkota7103]

Such a great initiative taken by the team! Well done Mam Namgay for always being honest & dedicated to what ever you do . Just one suggestion as an audience, it would be nice if the guest could express in a language she is most comfortable with that way she could express more Other then that it’s great hearing their stories.

[@kinzangchoden148]

Ayii it really touched and melt my heart I can’t control my tears from my eyes please guys don’t make fun of her if we can’t help someone don’t harm them I really wished to see her someday😢😢

[@mrsnobody5015]

Lovly one aum penjor glad to see

[@sangaystreep5133]

Such a beautiful lady, I love the way you speak Dzongkha 🥰. Soothing to hear 🤗

[@oceansblue6834]

Thank you aum penjor for sharing your story. She speaks the native tongue to tell her story so beautifully. Would it be possible to leave the CC edit open so we can put in English subtitles?

[@dawadukpa9885]

Thank you Aum Penjo and Namgay! Really enjoyed the interview! Aum Penjo was my Angay’s good friend ☺️ Wondering if it is possible to conduct the interview in Dzongkha.

[@queervoicesofbhutan4939]

The actual interview was planned in Dzongkha. It was Aum Penjore decision to do the interview in both Dzongkha and English.

[@sonamchenzo234]

Such a great talk 💕💕💕

[@ugyenlhamo2900]

Love you aum Penjor 💞 proud of you always

[@sangaydoma1033]

Hats off to you Mam Namgay for creating awareness .

[@keldenlhamo8857]

Such a happy soul...❤️❤️❤️

[@xoxo_ty_xoxo4959]

I feel she would’ve been more expressive if the interview was in Dzongkha..just my opinion though la

[@lodbk7497]

Much support for every one regardless of what they identify as💛💛✨

[@junesonam9276]

You are so humble and kind aum penjor...And It was Worth watching... ❣️❣️

[@mr.yeshidorji4006]

[@tsheringdolkar2915]

I really want this interview to be in dzongkha with the same question she's so fun. It really touched my heart.

[@annielaura6307]

These videos will make a difference. Thank you for your content. ❤️

[@Deewang263]

Cheers to Aum Penjor for sharing her life🌹✨

[@LHAKISBLOG]

So happy about this beautiful soul that finally he can express what he feels. Good luck 🙏

[@queervoicesofbhutan4939]

The correct pronoun is She/Her. She identified as Women.

[@LHAKISBLOG]

@@queervoicesofbhutan4939 Thank you for Correcting. SHE is beautiful.

[@dechenpelden825]

kudos to aum penjo..

[@sangaydawa1117]

Thank you for the video it was so pure and beautiful but she seems lil uncomfortable with english, she could have shared alot if the whole interview was in Dzongkha.

[@ugay13]

[@tenzindemawangdii]

I would seriously love to be friends with Aum Penjor :")

[@Sonamtobgay1]

such a inspiring person...n thanks for bringing this show mam.. but it could be more interesting if u have done this interview in dzongkha wit aum penjo as she couldn't share her story in more in English.

[@ponyosays9861]

I am in love with her🌈One of a kind. Beautiful from heart💟

[@tshewangpelden6705]

Would ve be great if the interview was in dzongkha so tat she could share more...

[@queervoicesofbhutan4939]

The actual Interview was planned in Dzongkha but it was Aum Penjor decision to do the whole interview using both English and Dzonglha.

[@kvlogs92]

Really proud of her and her community but it would have been great if the interview was in Dzongkha with English sub titles cause that way, Aum Penjo would have been more expressive like in mid of this video and the whole world would have understood as well with English sub titles. Huge Respect 🙏

[@tsheringgyem1438]

Aum Penjor really seems to have a kind and lively soul. She loves to party too lo? Cool. I saw her lot around Thimphu and selling thukpa outside Viva City but never had a chit chat with her. Next time, will really taste a cup of thukpa from her if I come across her selling thukpa again.
