Transgender in Pakistan | DW Documentary

- Sunny is a trans person living in Pakistan. She begs in order to survive. Others get by as sex workers or dancers. As an expert for transgender issues at the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, Reem Sharif found a way to support her community.
Trans people in Pakistan are frequently cast out by their families and live in poverty. They can find safe spaces and a new family in special centers. Here, they do not have to hide and discover that they are not alone in their fight for survival and recognition in Pakistan’s conservative society.
Only around 10 thousand people of Pakistan’s population of 220 million are officially counted as members of the “third gender,” yet it’s estimated that the true figure may be as high as 300 thousand.
A report by Vanessa Juercke

Transgenders have rights and discrimination is not tolerated. In our office, we have a lot of Transgenders and we excel in every field. I just hope that all people would be open minded and treat every human being normally. If this happens, what a wonderful world we would have. ❤️ ❤❤
Same for Canada- I feel blessed to live in a place (for now) where not only I'm free to be myself but youth are. I was 14-15 when I came out, I'm almost 25 now

what situation?? we literally had transgenders in Pakistan even before you people in west knew what Transgenders are. they are here in Pakistan for more then 2500 years now. also we have more Transgenders then USA.
@@shahrukhkhan8307 kuch bhi 😂😂😂😂
@@shahrukhkhan8307 I'm not sure it's a transgender counting olympic competition, but I take your point. That said, Trans people have been in North America with the Native Americans since they walked across the land bridge from Siberia thousands of years ago. You can still see them today (the Two Spirit people). That said, sure, I have no doubt that trans people have been in Pakistan longer since it was settled far earlier in human development. There are lots of trans people in both countries and it's unfortunate that many people in the west do not realize this. How many trans people per capita would you estimate in Pakistan? 1 in 200? 1 in 400? I realize there probably isn't any actual census or survey data on this.
As a Pakistani man I am heartbroken to the conditions trans community lives in, how society has left them to rot away like garbage. It is my wish and dream to see them as equals in society.

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.

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 !
Thank youuu
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.
i am christian , I don't agree with transgender but I also don't agree with hurting anyone ,both camps are wrong, it is not right to treat anyone with malice no matter what
Its nice to see people that are not coming from the angry, fearful, uneducated side.
Seeing this makes me proud of being a Pakistani for the first time.
Respect! 🤝🏻
Let people do what makes them happy as long as they're not harming anyone 😢❤
Kids are suffering right now.
They are harming our kids psychologically
Worry your own culture!
The issue is it is harming people. Women's spaces and rights as well as the minds of children.... if LGBTQ wasnt so obsessed with equality and trying to force people into their way of thinking, things would be different. There needs to be trans sports, trans toilets and LGBTQ needs to stay out of school. No pride month' either. Its ridiculous.
The problem is in the USA, transgenderism is being rammed down our throats! There are some who feel that every child is transgender and that needs medical intervention.
Pakistan is a hard place to live regardless
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 🙏
Masya'allah brother🙏
@@glennsriyousefbaun-cueto9287 How you can say mashaallah to accepting homosexuality? Relax brother as God has spoken against this look at the time of Lut. May god guide us brother.
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 .
@@fifiadan I didn’t mean to praise homosexuals acts. I meant to say homosexuals are humans too so they shouldn’t be oppressed or treated badly yet they have to overcome lustful behavior too as heterosexuals .

Respect every transgender person,,they have life also like us😢😢

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?
Blessings for all these people in the documentary
These guys have to accept the laws and culture. It's not about you.
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Even here in Holland, people often discriminate someone, who's different and who's against conservative ideas. I know, I'm a childfree person. I never wanted a family, and I decided to be childfree, when I was a teenager myself, and after many years it didn't change, of course. I don't care, but some native Dutch people continue being angry about me. F*** all haters. Your life - your choice!
I get most confused when others say folks like you are selfish for not wanting kids. Especially when it’s coming from a parent who just wants a grand baby
@@babs_babs Exactly
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."
God created Eve as a transgender Clone. He used a male rib.
I am Moslem. I believe people like that should get guidance, direction and the embrace of the people around them. Guiding and embracing them to the straight path instead of judging and hurting them. I also have a friend like this.
Wtf is moslem??
Well the problem is, there’s too many people who are feeding their delusions. You can’t call yourself a Muslim and a transgender at the same time.
There is nothing wrong with judgement in itself. The problem is the harassment.
We have to face reality and remind these people too : you cannot change your sex.
Who are you , or your god, to decide they need that kind of guidance? They, like everyone in the LGBTQ+ comunity, don't need the direction that leads them away from themselfes and their human rights.
They are wrong they should be punished
"The government should give us housing"? Do they realize they're living in a poor country? 😶
Entitled men.
Amazing to see these brave people fighting for justice and equality! Great documentary as always:)

Being a transgender in Pakistan takes some balls.
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

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.
Wth they don't even have woman right in Pakistan let alone man dressed up as woman 😅😅
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.
I totally disagree with transgender change but do not wish them any harm.
However I think the majority of people face problems in Pakistan. Especially women.
My heart breaks for them. I know their pain because I am a transwoman. I have seen the best and worst of people.
My friend is trans, and I fear for their life every day. All they bring to this world is joy, but people want to hurt them? It hurts me that people are so hateful.

Of all the places a biological male would want to be a female, I imagine Pakistan would be one of the hardest.
Transgender people have had a visible and standing community in Pakistan long before it did in West
They exist even before transphobia or homophobia was invented
Let people be what they want to be,I feel for these beautiful humans there is beauty in diversity
This is sad and beautiful at the same time... Beautiful because they have each other and sad because of the treatment..
I am very happy for the transgender people of Pakistan. They can cooperate actively. I hope more and more people will understand that human beings are just simply human beings.
I also struggle as a TransWomen living in USA. I grew up in Muslim community and that was even harder. So I left Muslim community, and adopted Hindu practice, and I have at least some respect from Hindus in America, but even the Christian people, as well as secular people, cause discrimination for my kind.

Dude your lucky to even exist too . shame on you for spreading lies and hatred on a subject you do not know much about
“A Transgender person’s biggest worry is a place to live”, is that not something we ALL desire?? Like who wants to be homeless? That’s just silly.
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

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.

*It is one thing to be gay and lesbian, but that is something that is innate in people who have a different heart and soul, being a homosxual is LITERALLY as natural as being straight. If Allah created humans (which I think most people in Pakistan believes) and some of those are straight, so then same being also created the homosxuals, like bcz if being straight is natural then having different feelings than the straight people is natural too. Different feelings, different hearts and minds, different souls can therefore be Naturally attracted to each other.*
In a strict Muslim country i just wanna know which men are sleeping with them
Pakistan 🏳️🌈 and little boys, sick place.
May Allah guide them.
Transgender people have existed in every culture. Gay people have existed in every culture. No amount of laws or bans or mistreatment is going to change that
I agree
Well, pedophiles, animal-lovers or corpse-lovers also existed all over the history, but it doesn't mean the society needs to accept it
@@Language_Learner11, interesting that you lumped in trans people with those. speaks a lot about the hatefulness within you.
These women are so brave.
I do not care what others say about your gender at birth.
We tell people not to judge others for their appearance then promply loose their 4 brain cells when a person dresses as a woman.
Erm but we are not supposed to judge.
My love to these wonderful strong women.
Men

More power to lgbtq and tans community
If the government of Pakistan provide proper programs for the transgender women and LGBT community they can be more productive in their society and im sure they can contribute to the growth of their nation as we all knew LGBT community has a lot of potentials most of them are talented and intelligent and that is the truth 😊 im so lucky to be born in the Philippines we are very much protected by our law and we have equal rights ❤
