Também vou reflectir aqui sobre o que considero ser um tlover e um homem aberto, de cabeça arejada, que se relaciona com mulheres, independentemente de serem cis ou trans.

Third gender in India gaining respect and opportunity
The eunuchs or hijras have been an integral part of Indian society since time immemorial. Eunuchs were prized as guards of harems, and as companions, by kings and emperors.
