In today's episode.. It was revealed she's a kinnar...
In India & Pakistan, a kinnar are transgender people. And if a child is born intersex or wants to change sexes, they tend to take the child so they would feel safe in their community!
I just want to define some words:
TRANSGENDER: is when a person is fully born as a boy with male parts
And grows up and decides that they aren't in the right body, so they end
Up either having operations to make themselves fully into a woman or
If they can't afford it they would dress and do stuff that women do.. Same goes
For a fully born girl who grows up and realises that don't feel like a Girl & decide to
Get operations to make them look like a man .. Both would have to have hormone tablets
To make them into THEIR DESIRED SEX!
In Somu case, she was born an INTERSEX!
INTERSEX: A group of conditions sometimes referred to as disorders of sexual development (DSDs) in which there is a discrepancy between the appearance of the external genitalia and the type of internal (testes and ovaries) genitalia. The condition was formerly termed hermaphroditism or pseudohermaphroditism.
So pretty much they ARE BORN WITH BOTH FEMALE AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS or they have XY (boy) CHROMOSOMES with a female reproductive system or vice versa.
People tend to classed them as a third gender... Doctors usually tell the parents to
Decide carefully on what GENDER THEY WOULD LIKE TO RAISE THEIR CHILD AS. Most PARENTS WOULD
LOOK AT THE CHILD's CHARACTERISTICS AND DECIDE!
Here's a article :
As University of Oregon professor and intersex expert Elizabeth Reis writes in her book Bodies in Doubt, "In the United States and most other places, humans are men or they are women; they may not be neither or both. Yet not all bodies are clearly male or female." That may mean a child has typical female chromosomes and ovaries but external bodies parts of a male. Or it could mean the body parts that a doctor typically looks to when declaring a baby to be a girl or boy are incompletely formed, or ambiguous. Sometimes it's clear in the delivery room, sometimes intersex people don't become aware of their status until they are teenagers and puberty doesn't happen as expected.
In somu's case she was isolated and clearly doesn't that her female organs are different to others ect... (Plus I don't think in India or Pakistan have sex education classes, so it's impossible for Somu to know what is normal'
Performing surgery on an intersex baby is controversial. In South Carolina, the parents of an adopted intersex child are suing a hospital and its employees for surgically assigning "M.C.'s" sex as female at 16-months-old. Now around 10 years old, the child identifies as a boy. "Genital normalizing' surgery does not create or cement a gender identity; it just takes tissue away that the patient may want later," writes the Intersex Society of North America in their position statement. Some in the intersex community choose not to have any medically unnecessary surgeries to change how they were born, even after they are old enough to identify their own gender and sexual orientation.
IN SOMU'S Case, she has a choice on what gender she wants to be now as an adult.. I guess still a woman & if so she can have a simple operation... However, depending if she has testes or overies she may or may not conceive!
Here's a little video of 5 intersex people! Hopefully, give you guys a better understanding!
