Change of Gender
Namaste
We have a party whose preamble defines that the genders in parliament are to be distributed fairly. Now they have the following challenge:
A party member was born as a man, felt like a woman lateron and had his gender changed. She is still married to her wife, they have two sons. So far so good.
The former man is now a woman on the female quota in Parliament … the seats in Parliament are in high demand.
The women feel cheated of a seat, saying he was born as a man, he is a man, and therefore belongs to the male quota.
The men say he had his gender changed, he is a woman now. They are happy that the seat has been vacated for the male quota.
The party is caught up by its own ideology now.
The Mahabharata depicts this situation. Bhishma did not accept the change of Sikhandini’s gender. For him Sikhandin was born as a woman and remained a women.
Frequently looking at Sikhandin the prince of the Panchalas with a laugh, he aimed not a single arrow at him, recollecting his femininity.
The dispute could be solved so easily, but I am sure, no one will listen to Mahabharata’s wisdom.
