Transsexualism is distinct from transvestism (cross-dressing) and does not
always indicate a change in the individual’s sexual preference. Generally,
there are two types of transsexualism, from a male to female, and vice versa. A
male who ‘transform’ himself into “herself” is also known as Ah Gua’s. Ah Gua’
meaning a man acting like a woman. To certain extend, it could mean
transvestite.

There are several recall that I wish to share with you. First
of all, they need respect from all of us. No matter which religion are you
coming from, try to use your empathy to listen and observe what they could be
doing. Could you imagine in a heavy rainy day, they were still standing outside
of the corridor to wait for their customers? It could be weird when you saw
their expression which putting their fingers close to their ears because of a
thunder shock. It’s their biological factor (hormone) lead them to be expressed
like that.

As stated most of them were from Indonesia,
and believe in Islam. Thus, they didn’t consume pork even they have to
accompany their customers for a meal at the nearby Chinese stall. Source was
from the Chinese stall owner, and through his expression, they really
understand and still following the rules of their religion. It’s because of
their biological factor and bad family background, makes them to be standing in
front of the corridors. In short, they need the current job as simple as
maintaining their life. They want to survive!

| Looking for Customers |
Through two times of observation, it
makes all of us more understand about their group in terms of their living
style. We need to respect them as a human right perspective. If they would like
to come out from their community and come into town and study and find a job,
please give them a chance to re-study their life. Everyone needs chance to go
back to the right track. Instead of giving some negative elements to this group
of people, why not giving them a golden opportunity to get into the normal
human life? In other words, the world has to be balanced with this group of
people. With their appearance, it could bring different perspectives of life so
does the philosophy of the life journey to the people and the society.
