Life may seem confusing, even more so when we talk about gender. It is assumed that everyone is born to be a boy or a girl. When they grow up they conform to societies expectations.
But what if you were born between this line of gender, or later in life you may find yourself steering off this path.
This leads itself to another realm.
Today's post delves itself into another realm as I came across an article on Eunuchs. Eunuchs are people, generally males who have castrated their manhood in order to become a woman. On some cases it can be about baby boys who were born with a dysfunctional genitalia.
Like all occupations, they hold a status in our society. In India, Eunuchs have an occupation that stems into the tradition and value belief systems of its society. They play a vital role and are paid handsomely for their work, which is having a duty to give blessings at weddings and new births.
The following article talks more into detail about Eunuchs history.
