is there such a gender as..

ok now its a serious question alright?.. i tried asking some of the friends… and they took it as a joke and never gave a serious reply so heres the question..

is there such a gender as ummmm.. khusra ?.. i’ve seen plenty in Pakistan.. now who the heck are they?.. i never came across that kinda gender in Canada.. but why are they only found in Pakistan/subcontinent?..and what exactly is that gender?.. male/female?.. male trying to be female?.. female trying to be male?.. i mean what the heck are khusres??..

ps: plz serious replies..if ya got nothing to say.. plz avoid flooding. Thanks.

Re: is there such a gender as..

technically, a khusra, or intersex have both genders. basically they are males and females. it means they have both of the male and female sex organs. they are born that way. khusra on the other hand has also been used a term for eununchs. (google it :o) a lot of the khusras in pakistan on the other hand are just cross-dressers, which you can find TONS of here in canada, especially on during gay pride week :dannyboy:

Re: is there such a gender as..

so are they born that way or they just pretend to be female so that they can attract males?..or the opposite for that matter?

ps: when's gay pride week?

Re: is there such a gender as..

the intersexes are born that way. their genes during development went haywire, and that's the way they are born. there are other cases where the actual biological gender is male, but the morphology might be female. those are like pseudo-hermaphrodites (or even vice versa).

as for cross-dressers some do it for fun, some do it because they believe they really are females and so cross-dressing helps them connect with their female sides. still others do it because the stuff that is out there for women is attractive. i don't think they do it so they can attract males...i mean you can usually tell it's a dude dressing up. (unless there are those with that kind of fetish).

gay pride week in toronto passed a couple of weekends ago.

Re: is there such a gender as..

Dr. Khumi,

Can it be passed down? I mean if you have some ‘khusra’ in ur family, is there a chance there might be more to come? :aq:

Thank you :chai:

lol @ dr. khumi.

usually, true intersexes are infertile. they can’t pass it on. same with any other kind of X and Y genetic anomaly, such as Klienfelter’s syndrome.

Now if you have a real true guy who just cross-dresses for fun, he can reproduce, but as for him passing on his behaviour… i don’t think you can pass on behaviour.

Re: is there such a gender as..

^ No I don't think so.
(speaking aside from religion)
This is how just nature works , it just creates RAW different anomolies. The fittest of them survives and creates more variation based on the "survived" design. For nature, there is no male / female. This is something we (society) have done to distinguish - yet in nature (humans, animals, plants..) we find all variations ... including ASEXUAL beings - which reproduces themselves and doesn't require an opposite partner.
In western countries, such children at birth are generally "tuned" (if possible / if need to) to become Male / Female - so they live more full / normal life.
In Pakistan they are outcast, and live in most horrible conditions.

P.S: Cross dressing is more to "dressing" inappropriately - as far as I know

Re: is there such a gender as..

As khumar mentioned, Khusras have both genders ..

You know that it was a proper Maslaa on how to pray Namaz-e-Janaza for Khusra as in namaz-e-janaza, the dua is different for different gender.

So it is an accepted fact, even amongst Ulema that Khusra is a gender and they are not just pretending to be a female

Re: is there such a gender as..
