Hijra Narratives
Here is another community, that can speak in their own words.
I have decided for any community that is not mine, I will provide links for me and others to learn. I do not want to speak on things that do not belong to me, especially since I am complicit in colonialism.
Originally, I was thinking of doing a post on Hinduism. This is that post, specifically exploring experiences of hijra, a group in Hindu society which is not part of the Western gender binary.
