A compelling documentary called, Common Gender explores the lives of hirja’s in Southeast Asia. I hope that I’m able to get my hands on this film. The stories shared will have a lasting impact and hopefully raise more awareness of the changes that need to happen around the world for fair and equal treatment.  A quote from the article about the film that had me near tears was: “Robin was at a mall as a hijra or transgender female was thrown first out of the men’s room and then the ladies’ room. As customers began screaming, security guards dragged her to the street and began beating her. “What are you doing here?” shouted the guards. “I’m human! I need to go to the toilet,” she replied.” To learn more about the film click here .
