As a human being they do deserve equal rights of social security without any doubt. transgenders are very talented and have more potential to build great social change. I salute you DW to film this issue.
Im a Pakistani born and raised guy. This documentary is both sad and equally positive, in that coming across transgender people in day to day life is a norm for most urban Pakistanis, as generally the community is openly welcomed at weddings and equally found on streets shopping and getting on with life. Attitudes will surely change with normalisation of the community taking up more responsible and professional roles. There is now likes of Dr Meerub and others who are well educated, articulate professionals braving their way into spheres once considered untouchable for the rest of the transgender or even LGBTQ community. Eventually, we all need to love and respect other human beings for just that fact, regardless of their gender or personal life choices.
One thing that's wild on RUclips is if there's a video about a trans person suffering, all the comments are positive and see their humanity. If it's a video about a trans person thriving and standing in their power, all the comments are negative and dehumanizing.

This documentary talks about transgender people but we only get to meet transgender women. Where do trans men exist here? Do they have a voice? Are they more worried about money, harassment etc? Or are they able to blend into the background more easily? I’d be very interested to learn more.
Parents are more tolerant for trans 'daughters' and the society treats cross dressing women better so they are able to express themselves without being disowned and telling the world they are trans they can just cut their hair short and cross dress and live their life as another Pakistani would. (some parents might marry them off thinking that would fix their dysphoria tho)
the problem with other gays is when you acknowledge them, they ask for more. to the point that they go beyond the boundaries. just look how most of the eastern and western lgbt acts today.
@adibmahmood8618 yk what? i am not religious but have utter respect for all religions out there but yours. your religions forbids love between same gender while making marital rape legal. i have nothing more to say because you'll end up getting offended. besides i don't give 1 f*ck as to how many genders there are. those genders you're talking about have come into existence after 2000s while being gay has been a thing since humanity came into existence. you can't tell the difference between love and lust and i pity you for that. NO OFFENCE, but over 450+ species display homosexual tendencies (which is natural and not man-made btw) but oh here we have adib from pakistan or whatever calling it unnatural because he holds personal biases against gay people. you men are so blinded by hatred that your religion preaches that you have forgotten what it means to be human.
As a Muslim man, it just show how some men in Islam are hypocrites. Citing the Qur'an and all, but will be the first to jump even on transwomen just to relieve them of their worldy needs. Sorry, not sorry.
We are not oppressed here in the states. The west should look into stories like these instead of creating mountains out of mole hills. These women are so brave 💖
Very interesting documentary. Thanks for the insights! I really wonder, how one can dislike this video. Right now it has 3064 likes and 3040 dislikes... crazy!
Hey Moritz! Danke, dass du dir die Doku angeschaut hast. Wieso sehe ich die Dislikes nicht? Werden bei mir nicht angezeigt. Aber ja, das Thema ist sehr umstritten. Viele Menschen sind gegen Transpersonen - besonders in einem konservativen Land wie Pakistan. Liebe Grüße!
It got dislikes because this documentary is making them victims and trying to make the God fearing people to humanize with these alphabet thugs. Just like in the west especially the U.S once they get power and they will try to silence the majority and enforce their lgbt agenda on us. Unacceptable!!

@@johnnyearp52 I really dont care what they do...I just believe that my daughter of 12 has it push down there throat in school that the girls in her class are say its cool to be a lesbian. At 12????...when some of the children are having trouble with basic math, english and or geography. That should be left for the parents if they want to teach there children that. If a very young child can't vote, drive or even have a bank account or even serve in the military ...the government should not push this down they're throat til they are mature enough to make that decision on there own. That they say its ok for them to mutilate there bodies and find out later they made a mistake. It always seems to surprise me, that if trans are mislabeled...how easy the Testosterone comes out in anger.
It's incredible how progressive and understanding the Pakistani people are, meanwhile in the west we're legislating transgender people out of existence. What an amazing video! And an amazing people!
Right? It pains me that ppl think Pakistan is a hostile place for anyone who isn't a "straight male" yeah a lot of it stems from boomers and their conservatism it's something that will take years to die just as it did in the west at same time tho Pakistan is way more progressive than some western countries its straight up legal to be trans and have no gender identity on passports and stuff.
God created Man and Woman, and only God can break that brokenness, the Lord Jesus Christ is the true God and no Man will ever be free from gender dysphoria if the person does not put Christ in His Heart and accept Him as the true savior. The Lord Jesus Christ said, Matthew 11:28-30 " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in Heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
This actually is positive, God made them transgender and needed them to accept being transgender and love themselves enough to get surgery. How kind of you #accidental tran ally 🌚
i feel so sorry for these women, the dserve to be treated as a human, all because there trans dont make thme less valuable if not there stronger than the average man there.

I was assigned human at birth, but I feel like a bird. I put on feathers and a beak. I'm not a human: I am a transpecies bird. Why do people discriminate us transpecies birds?
While it is difficult to determine the extent to which this occurs, it is possible that some individuals in Pakistan might identify as transgender to pursue same-sex relationships without facing the legal consequences of engaging in homosexual acts. Given the more accepting environment and legal protections for transgender individuals compared to those for homosexuals, it could be seen as a safer option.
It probably doesn't occur often, as you would have to literally live your life as a woman, at least in public, to accomplish that. And for the vast majority of people, that would go against their gender identity. So while I am sure some small percentage might be able to do that, I highly doubt any significant number of cis men are pretending to be trans to marry their lover.

Doctor here. Please understand that intersex people (ambiguous genitilia since birth) and transgender people (the ones who convert from their biological gender to the other one) are different. At least reputed channels like DW can provide this clarity. May both of these groups find love and peace.
Amazing to see these brave people fighting for justice and equality! Great documentary as always:)
Danke 🙏😘

“It’s just like a woman is beautiful. It’s just like a woman is intelligent. In the same manner, a woman is a transgender.” So gorgeously poetic
I am a Filipino 🇵🇭 expatriate working in the Middle East all my life. Most of my coworkers are from Pakistan: Lahore, Islamabad, Sialkot, Punjab. One of them gifted me a good quality leather jacket. I have no issues with them. We respect each other. I missed you guys.
Just curious..what about female to male transgender? ? Would their family just marry her off ? Instead of dealing with her gender identity..
That is my question. Why all male to female?
In extremely misogynistic societies, its much harder for women to escape their social role than men. That’s why theres barely any visible FTM people.
As a pakistani ive also wondered why do the transgender community want to be women when they know women are treated like shet in pak.
@@johnnyearp52 The problem is they aren’t actual trans. they are in the category of intersex.
@@greeninnature3470 How do you know whether they are trans or intersex?
Respect every transgender person,,they have life also like us😢😢
Yes
I respect them but I don't support them at all cost..
Why should I respect a man who doesn't respect women and treats womanhood like a costume he can wear?
But u can’t be a women .. a women is a female adult. You are men identify as a woman .
But that doesn’t mean you deserve to be beaten or ridiculed.
Wrong.
The important thing is respecting their body's choice you can be against it but accepting their existance
They CAN be women but not real women. People should accept the true but they don’t want to accept that because it’s hurt to hear the truth.

Accepting what God has forbid is what has made them so publicly bold faced, that behavior is based on a lie and deception , and that infects the minds of the innocent and impressionable .
That has been man's history ......and then we wonder why God set standards.
When is enough enough ?
And based on whose ideals ?
When having relations with animals starts getting the same attention will your views be the same ?
Should people who identify as vegetables and animals get the same rights ?
When does the madness end ......it doesn't ,God's law vs man ?
No contest !

As a Sikh I believe in equality to all beings. Nobody has the right answer why they born or feel this way so we have to accept them. Ofcourse spirituality helps overcome lustful behavior regardless of homosexuality or heterosexual. God help us all 🙏

Depends on how you define acceptance and judgment. We are not obligated to accept their delusion that they can be another sex. We can freely judge this.
They deserve respect as human being but we do not have to affirm their mental problem.
@@fifiadan bro u didn’t understand what I meant to say about discrimination against homosexuals not in favor of homosexuals acts .

As a human being they do deserve equal rights of social security without any doubt. transgenders are very talented and have more potential to build great social change. I salute you DW to film this issue.
Im a Pakistani born and raised guy. This documentary is both sad and equally positive, in that coming across transgender people in day to day life is a norm for most urban Pakistanis, as generally the community is openly welcomed at weddings and equally found on streets shopping and getting on with life. Attitudes will surely change with normalisation of the community taking up more responsible and professional roles. There is now likes of Dr Meerub and others who are well educated, articulate professionals braving their way into spheres once considered untouchable for the rest of the transgender or even LGBTQ community.
Eventually, we all need to love and respect other human beings for just that fact, regardless of their gender or personal life choices.
Well said thank you. I was worried to visit Pakistan as a trans woman
And still Pakistani hate dr mehrub

Before arrival of colonial powers, trans people were highly respected in Pakistan as Sufi saints then colonials criminalized them
This documentary talks about transgender people but we only get to meet transgender women. Where do trans men exist here? Do they have a voice? Are they more worried about money, harassment etc? Or are they able to blend into the background more easily? I’d be very interested to learn more.
Parents are more tolerant for trans 'daughters' and the society treats cross dressing women better so they are able to express themselves without being disowned and telling the world they are trans they can just cut their hair short and cross dress and live their life as another Pakistani would. (some parents might marry them off thinking that would fix their dysphoria tho)
They have to hide more
Justice, protection, compassion, and government assistance rights for all transgender people in Pakistan 🇵🇰 👍
This was really really sad. But I think, not only transgenders are struggling in that country at the moment 😢
May Allah guide them.
the problem with other gays is when you acknowledge them, they ask for more. to the point that they go beyond the boundaries. just look how most of the eastern and western lgbt acts today.
get educated dude being gay and transgender are two DIFFERENNT terms with no connection at all
@adibmahmood8618 yk what? i am not religious but have utter respect for all religions out there but yours. your religions forbids love between same gender while making marital rape legal. i have nothing more to say because you'll end up getting offended. besides i don't give 1 f*ck as to how many genders there are. those genders you're talking about have come into existence after 2000s while being gay has been a thing since humanity came into existence. you can't tell the difference between love and lust and i pity you for that. NO OFFENCE, but over 450+ species display homosexual tendencies (which is natural and not man-made btw) but oh here we have adib from pakistan or whatever calling it unnatural because he holds personal biases against gay people. you men are so blinded by hatred that your religion preaches that you have forgotten what it means to be human.
Being a male is a matter of Birth. Being a man is a matter of Choice.
As a Muslim man, it just show how some men in Islam are hypocrites. Citing the Qur'an and all, but will be the first to jump even on transwomen just to relieve them of their worldy needs. Sorry, not sorry.
We are not oppressed here in the states. The west should look into stories like these instead of creating mountains out of mole hills. These women are so brave 💖

Hey Moritz! Danke, dass du dir die Doku angeschaut hast. Wieso sehe ich die Dislikes nicht? Werden bei mir nicht angezeigt. Aber ja, das Thema ist sehr umstritten. Viele Menschen sind gegen Transpersonen - besonders in einem konservativen Land wie Pakistan. Liebe Grüße!
It got dislikes because this documentary is making them victims and trying to make the God fearing people to humanize with these alphabet thugs. Just like in the west especially the U.S once they get power and they will try to silence the majority and enforce their lgbt agenda on us. Unacceptable!!
Much appreciated for this great documentary❤

if the trans community didn't believe in what they were, why do we have to believe in what they are.

@@johnnyearp52 I really dont care what they do...I just believe that my daughter of 12 has it push down there throat in school that the girls in her class are say its cool to be a lesbian. At 12????...when some of the children are having trouble with basic math, english and or geography. That should be left for the parents if they want to teach there children that. If a very young child can't vote, drive or even have a bank account or even serve in the military ...the government should not push this down they're throat til they are mature enough to make that decision on there own. That they say its ok for them to mutilate there bodies and find out later they made a mistake. It always seems to surprise me, that if trans are mislabeled...how easy the Testosterone comes out in anger.
It's incredible how progressive and understanding the Pakistani people are, meanwhile in the west we're legislating transgender people out of existence. What an amazing video! And an amazing people!
Right? It pains me that ppl think Pakistan is a hostile place for anyone who isn't a "straight male" yeah a lot of it stems from boomers and their conservatism it's something that will take years to die just as it did in the west at same time tho Pakistan is way more progressive than some western countries its straight up legal to be trans and have no gender identity on passports and stuff.

" Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in Heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

While it is difficult to determine the extent to which this occurs, it is possible that some individuals in Pakistan might identify as transgender to pursue same-sex relationships without facing the legal consequences of engaging in homosexual acts. Given the more accepting environment and legal protections for transgender individuals compared to those for homosexuals, it could be seen as a safer option.
It probably doesn't occur often, as you would have to literally live your life as a woman, at least in public, to accomplish that. And for the vast majority of people, that would go against their gender identity. So while I am sure some small percentage might be able to do that, I highly doubt any significant number of cis men are pretending to be trans to marry their lover.

Hello everyone to all my beautiful transgender people in Pakistan love from Philippines
First of all I will like to say nice and educative documentary. And its just wowing me because Pakistan is welcoming transgender as a norm, I am from Nigeria who base in UAE but I know how my friends who is back home is going through alot of harrasment from people and no law to protect them. You know with this documentary my mentality about pakistani has change and I might likely visit this country for my next vacation. One love ❤
I'm from Nigeria too but I'm based in Nigeria itself.
In some parts of the south and south west ; LGBTQ people are being normalized. There are trans women opening boutiques and doing hairdressing around Ikeja in Lagos. We are even starting to appear in major podcasts and talkshows. I'm out to my coursemates at school and although there's religious bias , many of them tolerate me compared to 4 years ago when I was in secondary school.
It's Terrible for the south south and the north though 🥲, the north is still intolerant
The criminal sentence is still there though, it's hanging over our head . But things are changing now
@@littlesunshine4591 I met some trans women from Ikeja last Summer. They are open, with good careers. It was very interesting for me to be exposed to a whole network of open LGBTQ people in Nigeria. I do fear from their safety as their usually underprivileged or without strong skills and disowned. I hope Africa is more embracing.
It's ironic because traditional African religions across most of its cultures recognized bisexuality and no-gender identities often as spiritual conduits.

@@littlesunshine4591 the North is most tolerant of sexual diversity than anywhere in Nigeria. Perhaps make some research about the queer (yan Daudu) community in the North
@@mandegandi3068 That was in the past , now Yan daudau are criminalized and I have a Yan daudau friend who was killed there. There's strict enforcement of the Shaira law in the north now and the insecurities have not make it easier.
