Bidhan won the case against his parents when his lawyer had told the High Court earlier that “the parents of the petitioner had got his bank account frozen and were infringing upon his fundamental rights” His parents even threatened to file suit against all the doctors of the hospital who’d be accomplice to Bidhan bringing lady luck. Suddenly Bidhan’s parents have become the wolf in the Red Riding Hood story because they are infringing on his fundamental rights? What would be interesting to know is does our government also have laws against the so called moral brigades like the Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena or Ram Sena of our country when they infringe on our rights of visiting a pub (Mangalore) or celebrating Valentine’s Day (bombay) or work overtime in order to stop people from expressing love or simply denying their rights of sitting together (Meerut). “He is an adult and can take care of his own decisions” – High Court Mumbai. Why does this right of making adult decisions not apply to choosing to be gay, same sex marriages or being in possession of cannabis considering it’s grown in large parts of the country!
Bidhan says that he realised early in life that he was born in the wrong sex and preferred to dress like girls. This angered his parents who ill-treated him and beat him up, he alleged. The 21-year-old said it was in standard 7th that he learnt through the Internet that medical science could provide a remedy to his problem through a sex change procedure and he decided to go for it. Today’s e- generation knows much more than we can even provide solutions for. My 8 year old nephew asked me what’s the difference between ghosts and spirits? His is a much smaller concern than Bidhan’s and yes while I’m grateful to technology for providing support to those needy, I’m also weary of being unable to protect my child’s innocence, he’d know about ‘the birds and the bees’ even before spring sets in!
Bidhan is in love with and wants to marry a lieutenant in the Indian Airforce. Why is the airforce pilot anonymous in Bidhans struggle? Many times in the past too, I’ve tried understanding (Post-June 17 2009-Happy, Gay or Not)that if a man’s sexual preference is t be with another man than why would he want his man to become a woman? Will he only be able to give his relationship the respect it deserves if Bidhan turns into a woman? Will he be able to hold his head proud if they get snickered at even after Bidhans surgery? Is this all about the pilot living a perceivably acceptable existence in the society? I’m just inquisitive not judgmental. I’m all for whatever brings one happiness and I hope the likes of Bidhan never for one second until this universe revolves ever have to regret their decision.
Bobby Darling quoted that it’s a one month process where they council you at least three times a week on your impending decision. According to new order from the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in TORONTO — A man doesn't need to have his penis removed to legally become a woman. Another interesting excerpts from a transgender Ramona’s story “For maintenance, I take hormone pills for the hair and skin; for the organ, I was advised to have regular intercourse, and of course, douching, because it is important to stretch it every so often. Right after my operation, I had a glass object left temporarily inside for the wound to retain the shape of the canal. My doctor advised me, however, to get a boyfriend, and I did. Yes, I do have a clitoris. I also experience the same sexual joys women have.”
My favourite line from her sex change story – “No labor pains and no red flag days. It’s a perfect world”
Ramona you are most women’s envy baby!
