Here is a male dancing in woman’s clothing. Many people do not realise that fact. I am sure the man,in a woman’s grab,must be realising what it takes to be a woman.

I have read that in India there is almost what is considered a third sex, that is somewhat more accepted than a transvestite / crossdresser would be in the west… Is that a true statement or is there stigma wherever in the world.
yes,We have “Hijaras”,as they are called in Hindi.
Now I know where the name for one of Joni Mitchell’s albums came from
I have not heard about him/her or such song. Can you please share?
This is a link to the title song from her album Hejira http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLLQmRehYo
She is one of my favorite poets / artists … It is my understanding she was paralyzed from polio as a child and recovered, that alone is a miracle… hope you enjoy
I will hear it for sure . Miracle for sure and she must be courageous lady!
What a lovely voice she has! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent picture, Sonali, the pose, the half-covered face and the radiant smile all do it for me!
And truly fascinating words and comment. As grandfathersky intimates, we in the west are rather hot on stigma for all sorts of things – there can be a distinct lack of broadmindedness. Adrian
Thanks Adrian. This photo was one of my entries for “womanhood” contest and show. And it was selected for group show.
Well, in India this “Hijra” community is connected with religion and conveniently so. No one dares to question or oppose and people are afraid of them and their antics. They are forced to be in extortion racket for their livelihood as no one will employ them. So stigma and narrowmindedness is much more prevalent in India than in west. When someone is broadminded in india, he or she is called westernized!
Sonali, what you say is truly shocking. Adrian
Transvestite, right?
Wonderful shot.
Thanks. Male performer enacting woman’s role.
