As a Muslim, I have one God, and my religious teachings, which are good for humanity, are that God’s creation cannot be changed. The greatest thing is that God breathed His spirit into you and shaped your body no matter what it looks like. Are you in your right mind to change what He made for you? Do you object simply because of your sexual desires?!
Her optimistic outlook on life is incredibly inspiring, capable of uplifting anyone. Sending her even more love.🥰

Pure and Inspirational. The first video in a long time I heard of someone speaking "pure and proper" Hindi (unadulterated and using very little English words). I heard Hindi and not Hinglish. Kudos to creative team of BBC India in making this classic, informative and eye opening mini-documentary of "rare gem Khushi Shaikh". Lesson learnt: A person is a person, no matter what their gender be. As equal as any other human being. Thank you. Comment from Athens, Greece. 🙏🌻

Hi Takis, are you from an Indian background? You seem to know a little about the language! Just wondering how you came across this video?
They are also human beings...give them respect ,give them jobs, give them homes to live ❤ her story made me cry..how they have to struggle in real life for their rights.

They don't want normal jobs or life most of nowadays they do is dance, tiktok, reels sexualize content that's why, some of them are nice person else arrange a marriage and see when they'll ask 51,000₹ or get naked in front of your family, don't make any judgements by just watching a scripted video..
@@flywheelpubgm esse toh normal log bhi aache nhi hote they also do lots of bad things ...sabse bdi cheez humanity hoti h ..I'm saying that we should give them respect because lots of people don't consider them humans and treat them really bad and due to which they hate their lives ..which is not good we live in India so as an Indian this is our duty to give respect to every citizen.🙂
I wish the entire trans community receives this much love, respect and support. God's wishes are for all.

What do you mean by entire trans community? There are transgenders and there fakes who take advantage of this group.
They definitely will if they behave decently like this one
It's people who judge, attack and marginalise the trans community who behave indecently
I am also a transwomen. I started my transition during 2021 because that time I got independent . My family loves me a lot after I made them understand about my identity . I also had had life threatening events in my life . Abused by society , beaten in school . I was depressed since 13 years of my age asking god every night why did not he take me to his home . I did not want to live on this planet . I have got very loving and caring parents . They understood me overtime . I was also rejected from my job last year because of my idenity . I was unemployed for 7 months straight but in these seven months, I learned freelancing and doing better than my jobs in my life . I hope one day I will be a beautiful girl 🥰🙏
im glad your doing better now! also your already a beautiful girl! trans women are women at the end of the day
Wish you more love and respect
Not trans, third gender. India has identified only 3 genders, male/female & third gender who is not man or woman. The 3rd gender has been around for thousands of years taking part in rituals blessings for Indian families. Must not mix/confuse this with trans women.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I love this video. As a trans myself, this boosted my confidence...may the universe continue to support us 🙏🙏🙏
1:44 made me cry! it's easy to judge people based on what we feel is right or wrong. But every person has a story and their reasons which drive them to make choices in their lives. others may not agree with it due to their privelge but we need to have empathy and realise they are humans just like us!
I'm so happy she earned respect and achieved all the success!! Wishing her a healthy and happy life ahead ❤️
Wow i am so happy to see Khushi is getting the recognition she deserves❤️
