Khawaja Saraa

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Sara means 'to sing' or 'to say good things about' or 'buttering up someone' .

So you must have seen khawaja Saraa people saying good things about you to get money . I hope you got what I am trying to say .

Re: Khawaja Saraa

I don't know man, this is a really sad subject. These poor fellers are abandoned and ridiculed by everyone; even if they want/try they can't have a normal life and be a normal part of the society. Seriously, what was god thinking.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

I agree it is sad especially the way we treat them. Maybe God was testing our humanity - clearly we failed.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

true that......

but from what i know...... there are only few who are techincally the middle gender.......most of them are feminized , biiologically perfectly normal men.............

Re: Khawaja Saraa

they are too much annoying at traffic signals… argh, i wish i could break traffic signals or just quickly change my view to get rid of seeing their unwanted open galaaaas… disgusting! :mad:

Re: Khawaja Saraa

I don't understand why their parents abandon them or they leave their parents ?

Re: Khawaja Saraa

and those who were not abandoned by parents are now famous fashion designers. :@:

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Thats right...
They can't be a normal part of our society because our society does not accept them I wonder why??? hhmm just because they don't come under a particular category ( male & female )

Re: Khawaja Saraa

There's a lot of debate on this (and I may offend some people, sorry in advance), but homosexuality isn't biological. If it was, the people of Lut wouldn't have been shunned. Homosexuality is a choice, being born with ambiguous genitalia is not a choice. Two different things. As NomiCA pointed out, a lot of the 'khusra' population is made up of homosexuals/cross-dressers. If someone is truly a hermaphrodite or is born with no definitive sex organs, we should extend our sympathy and humanity to them. I'm not saying homosexuals should have rocks thrown at them, they're humans too...but yeah, just clearing up that there's two different things.

They exist...even Quran says they do. However in west, they live as female even though they probably have a lot of male organs internally. This is done at birth and a lot of people are secretive about this. It is rumored that actress Jamie Lee curtis is hermaphrodite ( this is the scientific term). Also it is rumored that that south African runner is also a hermaphrodite. Why Allah created them is a mystery just while Allah created people with mental retardation, cerebral palsy...infant mortality.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Homosexuality/cross-dressing is not permitted in Islam. Hermaphrodites are Allah (swt) creation. The reason why most families choose to dump their child if they are born this way is because they feel some form of shame that they have conceived a child that is different. Not many years back people in India/Pakistan found it hard to cope with having a child with a disability.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

I read somewhere that real Khawaja saraa don't go outside, they generally confined themselves in their house or place where they live because they feel ashamed of themselves because of our society or because their family has abandoned them. Khawa saraa'a on roads and signals are not real........ they are people who come into this field to earn money.

There were many more facts about these people in that article. If i find it i will share it. It was written after a research with facts and figures.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

So any body can tell scientifically that what is Hijra. Do they have some other kind of private body parts or it is only mental homosexuality desire??

Google intersex to get a better idea. It is not a MENTAL condition but rather a physical condition. Typically they have both male and female reproductive organs. There are variations even among hermaphrodites.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Ali - your question has been answered in this thread. To clarify - every fetus first has female reproductive organs (regardless of genetics) later in their development while still in the mothers womb hormones determine if the organs will develop into male or stay female. At times the distinction doesn't take place and baby is born with organs that don't resemble either or.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Have you seen those men with little bit beard in Haram and they take care of Khana'a Kaba ?? Yup, they are from the same group , but over there they are very respected .

Re: Khawaja Saraa

So is there any medicine or surgery available to convert them to one sex either female or male???

Re: Khawaja Saraa

Yes, I believe that is a possibility at times. Surgery as well as hormones.

Re: Khawaja Saraa

If it is possible some NGOs in Pakistan should start doing this, so that they can live in a better way. I believe in Pakistan most of Hijras are not by birth. They are male and then these people damage there testicle or remove them by operation so they become hijras, but in that case they don't have two sex.

Now days every body is worried about the Acid on women faces, they should worry about the Hijas as well. I think this is also important issue and should be highlighted.
