Towards A Woke Sisterhood: Celebrating Reel & Real Women of Other Kind!

We at the style desk believe that there is an inherent need to expand the definition of womanhood, one that is not colored by the lens of gender and perhaps a bit more inclusive in nature…

What makes a woman? Is our definition of a woman rooted in gender and the pronouns ascribed to it viz she and her. We at the style desk believe that there is an inherent need to expand the definition of womanhood, one that is not colored by the lens of gender and perhaps a bit more inclusive in nature. Just like fashion has never been about gender, in-fact it means gender-expansive, gender-forward, and is about quashing gender silos and conventions by looking beyond.

While the fashion of 2020 is inclusive, diverse and woke than it was ever before, shouldn't Women's Day also be embracing everybody that wants to be included in her tribe? We think it definitely should. Inclusive, accepting and perhaps be forging newer sisterhood with it. Therefore this women's day, we are honoring women of a different kind, one's who are biologically born in other bodies, or have essayed such characters in their reel-life. While few actors in the list identify themselves as male and female biologically and have essayed just the character of a trans-person, their contribution couldn't be overlooked in starting a broader dialogue and establishing themselves as an ally. 

Note: Everyone on this list is stylish -not only from outside but from inside too.

@Mahisa22 It’s sad that we have morons like you who are supporting and encouraging mental illnesses rather than spreading awareness. Are you confused about your gender too?

@Mahisa22 Stop wasting your time here and go see a psychiatrist you brainless fool. If you don’t wanna go to a psychiatrist then you need to be put in a mental hospital along with all those fools who are confused about their gender!

@Mahisa22 The shit and stupidity are coming from idiots like you. There are only two genders you fool. You’re obviously messed up in the head if you think there are more than two genders. Pathetic loser!

@PriyaRai101 Yeah thanks for letting me know that you suffer from mental illness. You need to go see a doctor ASAP. I will pray so that you get well soon. If you think encouraging mental illness is a form of progress then you're part of the problem. Spread awareness not encourage.
