Re: is there such a gender as..
neither :D umm impressed? that's not the right word...
Intersex people shun by the society created this so called kusra culture, where they burry their sorrows in the shadow of entertainment and ppl amusment. Yes we cannot accept them as normal human beings but can always make fun of em.:o

damn it I dropped my tea...
Re: is there such a gender as..
There's a place near my uni. where all the khusra people go. I will probably sound silly but I get scared when I go past that place :o
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
Beware, nowadays in Pakistan u'll find male beggers dressed up like khusraz! Our beggers are very creative.
and what do they lure you into? why the disguise?havent you heard elders advising you not to refuse money to khusraz? Ive seen all sorts of beggers, the most creative ones ive seen had this note on them saying how they converted from Christianity to islam and are in need of money!! The ones that you see that appear to be tundey, they have this trick where they pull their arms in… Also, its advisable not to rudely shun away a real khusra… a kanjoos shopkeeper in karachi i know did, and the khusraz ended up taking their clothes off infront of his shop poori market me tamasha, and he had to give them money to stop all that.
I dunno I just feel really sorry for khusras I saw them in Pakistan and I felt so much sympathy for them. They can't even enjoy life properly I just wish their comfortable with who they are and happy despite the fact that society does not really accept them. Ameen. I dunno how mothers react when they find out the gender is neither boy nor girl it must be so devastating.. So many people put emphasize on having a baby boy, but after viewing this topic I think they should just be thankful the child is normal.
