The Third Gender

This year has started out as like to every other year that passes by in our life. Most people just wake up in the morning, do their chores, finish their stuff and eat their dinner... Usually, things end up going that way on any ordinary day. Let's just say that your schedule differs when you have an important event to attend to. But then again, like I said, that's what happens to MOST people on a daily basis.

Not everyone goes through that cycle everyday.

For these few people, everyday can become a suffering. It can be another day of hate or sadness that they need to endure until they grow up. But what exactly am I referring to?? It's simple.

Acceptance. 

Acceptance for those that are trapped in a body where their soul is not compatible to. Acceptance for those that want to show the world who they really are, but fear the judgement of society. Acceptance for those who appear disgusting to society's eyes and is shunned. With acceptance, they are finally free to express themselves and be who they really are without having the consent of other people. They are no lounger bound by their fears of judgement and harsh thoughts and finally be considered as members of society.

I'm talking about the third gender.

Some people call it 'third sex', but as I have to say, I think it should be called third gender because you see, God made two sexes. The first sex is male and the second is female, which refers to the reproductive organ that was given to us in order to reproduce. Have you seen a third sex organ? I don't think so. Then comes the gender, which was particularly boy and girl. Gender is an option given to us by the people on who we wanted to be, but is usually a package deal as to say if you were born a female, then you are a girl.

Though it is becoming natural for many individuals to be gay or lesbian or tomboy... it still cannot stop the minds of those that disapprove of the matter. Many people still think that it's not natural or that it shouldn't be tolerated. Some might say that it's disgusting or it defies God's will for the people, thus only making it more complicated. Even if we say that being of third gender is trending nowadays, it's still a dilemma for most that has grown accustomed to the usual way of boys will be boys and girls will be girls. What's devastating about this is that when a person says you are gay, it happens to show a low level of human being or in other words, an insult. Gay happens to mean happy by the way people! 

I happen to have a tomboy for a sister, even if she likes cars, girls and manly things, it does not stop me from loving her. She takes care of us and still does her responsibilities to her own extent. But the only problem is that my parents don't approve of her being a tomboy. When my father says someone is gay, it's as if he's disgusted by how they act and that it shouldn't be that way, like they're a virus we shouldn't be going approaching. It's just utterly infuriating. We were watching ANTM one night and there's this gay contestant that he never seems to shut up about because all he kept saying was, "He can't work in the modeling industry", "He's too skinny and doesn't stand a chance!", "He's just there for the show's entertainment." and it is horrible! 

Just because something is different does not mean that we should underestimate it. Every individual has their own set of skills and ability to do what they can and what they want. We should see them equally because we may not know that we are already killing them slowly inside because we can't seem to accept them for who they are... Everyday for the rest of their lives they'll end up feeling this:

And let me tell you, it is horrible. You are forcing other people to be who they're not supposed to be, hurting them and maybe end up hating themselves.

Do not be close-minded to these things because they are people too. ALL LIVES MATTER. And for changing your views today, you might end up saving a life.
