Satabdi Roy speaks on The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Thank you, Sir. Pehle main ek dusri baat kehna chahti hoon. Jab 2009 mein main pehli baar is Sadan mein aayi thi, tab 100 Bill me se 71 Bill scrutiny pe jate they. 2014 mein jab aayi thi, tab 26% Bill scrutiny pe aaye. Is time 2019 mein, 12% Bill scrutiny pe aaye. Toh mujhe ye Minister se puchna hain, aakhir kyun, jab Opposition kuch baat bolte hain – political baat sunna nahin hain, phir bhi theek hain – lekin jo logical baat bolte hain, jo suggestion dete hain, ek-do Minister chodke koi nahin sunta. Kyunki aap zyada mandate le ke aaye heain, ya Opposition ka baat sunna nahin chahte hain? Kahan se yeh audacity milta hain, please answer dijiye.
Ab Bill ke baare mein aate hain. Jaise transgender bolne se jo baat pehle hamara dimag me aata hain, woh hija ke baat bolte. Ke baat bolte hain, lekin society mein sabse zyada jaroori hain usko society usko accept kore uyo kaise hain, keya hain. So uska mental, physical, uska dil aur jism bilkul alag hota hain, so isme uska, kya chahte ho, khud keya chahte ho, genetic condition keya hain, usko accept karna society ke liye sabse bara baat hain.
Humlog to yeh mante hain ke, hum jo normal insaan hain, jo log aise paida huye hain, woh log bhagawan ko hardin is liye thanks bolna chahte hain, kyunke mein keya hoon, raaste mein nikalne se koi chauka nahin bolte, koi hijra nehi bolte. Mein jab public toilet meye jaati hoon, mein yehi nehi sochte hun mein ‘He’ mein jaon, eya ‘She’ mein jaoon. Mein jab chahti hoon Sari pehnke yeah Salwar pehenke ghum ne ke liye tab mere Daddy-Mummy yeh nehi bolte nehi tum pant pahno yah opposite this. Yeh main shukriya aada karti hoon uparwala se jo main aise insaan paida huye hoon. Mera jism aur dil hamesha …
Mai aiyse insaan paida hua hu, Mera jism aur Dil hamesha larta nehi hai mai kya hu yeh proof karne ke liye, lekin mai yeh bolti hu jaise aap agar Bangladesh ke facebook me dekh rahi thi gao se log vag vag kea aa rahe the dekhne ke liye ek larka kaise larki baney. Yeh sarkar sahi hai, yeh mazak ka baat nehi hai, mai yah committee mei thi, bohot sare transgender se mili hu mai, use baat hui hai, kaise wo bachpan se kya banke paida hua aur kya banna chahte hai, iska jo larai hai uska who sunne se apke yaha pe dard hoga, mai yeh bolti hu ke habitation, jaise bill pe aayi hai jab woh ghar se uska family usko nikaal dete hai tab who court pe jake fight kar sakte hai, lekin is desh pe do lakh se jada pending hai 32 saal pakar ke, toh fir yeh 32 saal me jo pending hai agar yeh case isme vi aur vi jada pending hoga, toh mujhe lagta hai habitation jispe dena hai usme yeh kehna ki wo jab ghar se niklenge court me jane se pehle koi habitation centre me jaye jaha wo jo bole maan le,
Secondly, financially usko strong karna hai, agar aap sochenge financially usko education denge, jaise raste me hum dekhte hai signal pe koi aate hai woh jo pareshan karte hai logo ko, sympathy vi nehi hote unpar, mai bolti hu unpar compulsory karenge sarkari jo educated person hai unke liye aur jo non-educated hai unke liye vi aap kam de sakte ho, aur yeh jaise private office mai aap compulsory nehi kar sakte ho, lekin request toh kar sakte ho, ek vi naukri unko de de, jaise woh financially same level pe aaye, mainstream society pe aa sake. Jaise X and Y determination chromosome who is the boy and who is the girl, Bill pe woh nahin hain. They too have a right to have babies. Supreme Court ne yeh rai diya hain,
Supreme Court yeh rai de diya hai ke chalo yah shaadi kar sakta hain , laken reproduction technology same sex couple can be given a baby, genetic, mental, physical states all different unko laye hota. Toh main agar bolti ke aap agar mainstream main laana chata hoi toh unka family bhee hona chaahe. Main is kavita ke saath main apane baat khatam karana chahata hoon. main ek purush hoon ya mahila hoon yah mere mahboori, tum muja chakka bolo, tum hajra bolo muji, tumare liye dooyah karoon, aisa zindagi na khabi na mila tooji, mujhe jeene do apani zindagi, samaj ka parva na karoon toh kya karlegi.
Tum jaysa aaya dunya main, main bhi asie aayie, tumara jetna haq hain mare bhi itna hi. Insaan tum bhi ho aur insaan main bhi, faraq itna janam say tum aaj bhi wohi main bhi purush hoon aura ab narhi, yeh shook nahi mare yah haaq mare. Kabtaq dunya ko batuan main kaun hui, kyoon bar bar Sita ko agni pareeksha do. Main insaan hoon, main insaan hoon, bas main insaan hoon. I support this Bill with this expectation that society will change. Thank you.
