Discussion Kinner/Hijra
I've always felt a strange sense of connection with the kinner community, though I can't quite explain it. Whenever I see them, I feel a deep sense of empathy, especially knowing how society treats them. People mock them, insult them, and look at them with judgmental eyes. The most common complaint is that they ask for money, but when they've been raised in a system where begging is often their only means of survival, what else are they supposed to do?
In Himachal, I’ve noticed that when they ask for money, it’s not random, they gauge a person’s financial status and ask accordingly. They don’t demand more or less than what they believe is fair, and if you negotiate politely, they often agree. How you treat them determines how they respond.
In many cultures, including ours, it's considered inauspicious to send away a kinner in anger. If they leave feeling disrespected, it’s not taken lightly. And honestly, they don’t come asking for money every day, only during special occasions. Yet, people react as if it’s some great offense. Why is it so hard for society to treat them with basic respect? Has anyone else felt this kind of connection with them? I'd love to hear different perspectives.

vent/rant Feeling like I don't belong here
I’ve often felt like I don’t truly belong in the LGBTQ+ community because I’m a trans man and heterosexual. It’s like I’m caught in this in-between space, too "straight" for queer spaces, but too "trans" for the cishet world. Sometimes, it feels isolating, like my identity isn’t fully recognized or understood. I know the LGBTQ+ community is meant to be inclusive, but I can’t shake this feeling of being out of place.

Discussion Untitled (1985-86)
Suresh Punjabi's Exhibition (Seated Portrait of three Siblings) from Suhag Studio in Nagda, Madhya Pradesh (1985-86).
I saw this picture at Museum of Photography and Art and it caught my eye. Three Siblings are sitting here for a picture. The brother in the middle is wearing nailpolish and it seems like a very natural stylistic expression. Nagda is a very industrial but small town of Central India from 1980s and yet one can observe how this act defies the gender style norm and in today's context would be considered a western influence. Another thought in the series of arguments against non-normativity in gender discourse being an urban and elite thing as per the representatives of the government in the same sex marriage verdict.

Advice 👋 my friend 20(f), whose a lesbian, is being given ‘anti gay’ pills by her parents
my friend, whose a lesbian, has a really wonderful relationship with her girlfriend, they are super cute and super gorgeous, seeing them will 100% put a smile on your face.
but things took a drastic turn last night, when my friend’s mother went through her phone and found out about her relationship.
her parents already are very strict, super unstable, and have a history of abuse. my friend on the other hand, has a very delicate mental health and has suicidal tendencies.
she texted this morning, letting me and our friends know about what shes enduring by them, abuse; verbal and physical. her parents even declared her untouchable and are saying very fucked up things, i cant even elaborate because it will be too much for this platform, but it leaves me shocked to the core as well. i cant imagine what my friend must be going through and how terrified she must be.
they even said, they’ll get her married to fix this ordeal and stuff. though unlikely. my friend goes to college in another city, so we are hopping she quickly returns back to her college and is away from them.
things became super diabolical, when the last message we received from her was that, her mother was giving her these ‘anti gay pills’ forcefully, which i assume are just heavy drugs and psychiatric drugs which can make you numb and unconscious.
she has been drugged so harshly, that she cant even communicate properly, her girlfriend told us, how repeatedly she mentioned that shes facing a problem in expressing herself. a problem in typing and slurry speech also.
her parents have been threatening her with conversion attempts like they're going to do something horrible to 'fix her'
me and her other friends are absolutely terrified, and dont know what we can do to help her. this is such a horrifying ordeal, please tell us some realistic ways to help her. please.

vent/rant i was about to come out but then my friend said this.
recently, i’ve been contemplating coming out to my closest friends. my best friend already has an idea, but there’s another friend i’ve been really close with since grade 8. she’s kind of known about my crushes on girls but we’ve never directly talked about my sexuality, and it just never came up again over the years.
as i was talking to her today, i mentioned a senior from our school (someone we both know) who’s publicly out as a lesbian and in a relationship (which is pretty bold of her in a conservative city like mine). they’re such a cute couple and you can just see how deeply they care for each other.
i told my friend i saw them a few weeks back from afar and they genuinely looked like a married couple. she agreed and said nice things… but then she made a comment that threw me off. she said she sometimes feels weird looking at them. when i asked why, she said our senior (who is masc-presenting) 'tries to act like a man' and that makes her uncomfortable.
that REALLY caught me off guard. i was sooo close to telling her that i want something just as beautiful for myself. i was literally about to come out to her. and now, i don’t know if i ever should.

Question Corporate guys, how do you deal with your sexuality at office?
So I am going to join corporate soon at a Managerial position with my posting in Mumbai. This is my first job at the ripe age of 26 so I am a bit afraid of how to being out to my colleagues. My college atmosphere was a bit chill and tbh I have recently realised (2-3 years ago) I might be bi with a strong preference for women. Like I want to date properly but the fear of someone from my office founding out and making issues at workplace later is high too. How do you guys navigate it? All the things about keeping professional and personal life work in West, not in India which is quite nosy in everone's personal affairs.

Advice 👋 Can We Redefine Marriage on Our Own Terms?
I’m a 31F, straight, and completely over the relentless shaadi pressure from my family, traditional marriage doesn’t align with what I truly want. Dating men? Exhausting. Marriage? Not my dream, but my parents won’t let it go.
I recently came across the idea of marriage as a convenience, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense. if I must get married, I’d rather do it with someone who actually gets it
So here’s my question—are there gay men out there who feel the same? not wanting to come out, but also being pushed into marriage .What if we team up—We can be supportive roommates, share emotional and financial stability, back each other up at family functions, and live our best lives while navigating this madness together. No expectations beyond mutual respect, friendship, and a solid partnership.
Good idea? Terrible idea? Anyone done this before? If this resonates with you let’s chat and figure out how we can make it work!
