i got to watch national geographic channel's feature on hijras, lady boys and other gays from some southeast asian countries. i'm glad that there really is more to their desires of changing their appearances. but on one hand, i am saddened by the fact that although every gay wants to be treated equally as the normal man and woman, only very few are willing to work for it. i was shocked to hear one who was being offered a job and yet he demanded that all of them be given jobs, else, he wouldn't do it. he should've been happy that at least somebody was giving him a chance to prove everyone wrong; that they aren't just people who could do nothing but perform--a euphemism for begging for money.
but anyway, toom's (the beautiful boxer) story was touching. i was inspired, really. his story urges me to do my best in whatever field i choose. hardships now, reap fruits later.
