Do you know one Kinner in your environment or from public life, actors, politicians, etc?



Indian athlete Santhi Soundarajan was born as intersexuele, by publicly stigmatized and embarrassed.

I know from public life, Bruce Jenner, stepfather of Kim Kardashian.
Born as a woman in a man's body, after a long time, therapy, and now it's finally physically became a woman and her name is Caitlyn Jenner.


Ago:




Now:







Anna Grodzka is the only one open living transgender woman in a parliament worldwide. In her native Poland she uses her position to stand up for the rights and recognition of other transgender people and to stand up against discrimination and exclusion.

But there's a big difference between eunuch (kinner) and transgender.
Soumya is a eunuch not a transgender!

Exactly
Somu feels like a girl, she even looks like a girl BUT she was born with male parts as well
Somu is not a transgender
Kinnar in my country (Bangladesh) is often referred to as someone who is neither a boy or a girl , it's basically a third gender
Transgender is someone who looks like a certain gender , is attracted to the same gender and feels like opposite gender from within

Actually that is also false. I have done a lot of research into the different terms such as eunuch, transgender, transexual and intersex, and an eunuch is a man by birth who has had their male organism cut off (this is called castration), so she is neither a kinner or transgender. She is actually a intersex, but it actually angers me how the cv's are misleading an already confused audience with wrong information.

If you remember jodha akbar serial where they had people called khwaaja sheras (don't really know the correct spelling) they were eunuch's as these kind of people are actually men by birth but had their male organism cut off in a very early age perhaps due to some reason like to make them into soldiers to serve and protect women and made to live like a woman and they were used to guard the female living quarters.

Actually if somu has only male genitalia according to my knowledge and the lgbt umbrella she is considered transgender (it might not be the right term but most use this term . what does eunuch actually mean . the most general form of transgender known is the one you mentioned. about feeling like you are in the wrong body. the writers need to just be more specific and state if she is intersex or transgender as in being born with only male parts because we all know she had no operation.

Exactly, I agree, are not clearly explained under which "mistake" was born Soumya
I hope, over time they will explain.

I also agree with you that are eunuchs, that person is cut off genitalia, and not that they were born without them.
I think Soumya has both sexual organs, only the male genitalia more pronounced, since the female sexual organ.
