🌈 Spread The LOVE with PRIDE [Pride Month Celebration] - Page 26

Acceptance is the bare minimum, everyone should do it!! Tell her to keep doing what she feels is right, no matter what everyone else says and get better/new friends if these keep pressuring her into doing things she doesn't like.

Having supportive friends is very important. They should stand up for each-other and against everything that is wrong.

And yes, life is too short to waste in hatred, love is all that we got, give it as much and you'll receive so much more! 🤗

This is whole different issue, so not getting into this one! But yes, I'm glad my kid has enough faith in herself not to blindly follow other people even if she feels they're wrong. Her innate morality does not allow her to do so, and I'm so proud of her for that!

Acceptance is not just the bare minimum, it's also the first step to solidarity and support! So yes, we should start with that!

Oops double post!

Okay, first off I must congratulate and applaud Appy and Shibani for this venture. It's brave, it's touching, it's heartfelt, and most of all, it rings true.

I connected with it as an individual living in a larger society, but more so as a parent. The support Umang got from her sister was priceless. It was everything. Because without it, she'd be all alone. I could see her heartbreak at not being understood by her parents, but the film leaves us with hope that she will surmount it. Her sister's support and faith in Umang will get her through this. It will allow her to be who she is without feeling ashamed of it. Because there is one person in the world who believes in her.

This message stands out for me more than anything else as a parent. Listening is so important. And not just listening but active listening. Any kind of stress can be handled if there is one supportive person next to you, holding your hand through it all. For Umang it's her sister. I pray every person has someone like that. Because I've seen too often what happens when you don't have that one support person in your life. You end up mired in toxic stress, which is hard to fight.

This is why Allyship for Pride is so so important. You never know who you can help pull out of toxic stress just by leading a patient ear, validating their feelings and letting them know you're there for them. You validate their very identity by letting them be themselves!

That's enough words.

Claps for Appy and Shibani! 👏👏👏👏

Thanks for sharing, Neha!

This was so heartbreaking to read, but I feel Noori and the struggle she must have gone through just because of societal conditioning. I remember when we were kids we would be told by our elders not to engage with hijras because they were after kids and were told we should run away if we came across them. There was also another common misconception that if you don't give a hijra money when they ask for it, they'll curse you and their curse always come true!

But on the other hand, they were also considered good luck, especially if there was a newborn baby and they would be specially invited to give the baby their blessings! I fail to understand these kinds of blatant misconceptions and superstitions around a whole group of people that were given credence by society!

It was heartbreaking to read about the prejudice that Mumbai hands out to trans people! It's my city, I was raised there, so it's all the more upsetting for me. But then Chennai is my city too, and I'm glad Noori was able to find her solace there.

I hope society has changed somewhat in this respect at least now. Is this a recent article or a dated one?

A well scripted video with a descriptive message, how the pain and sorrow will crush a young person's heart for facing such resistance to accept the fact from his own mother. A thoughtful attempt to educate the viewers on this specific subject. I must congratulate the writer Shibani and the director Koeli Dalmiya for their excellence in dealing with this issue with finesse.
