    Binaries are such cliche. The perspective that empathetic acceptance brings is the need for any society to grow. To have people around who make everyone believes that we can have a society where everyone can grow to be a better version of themselves and be aware that it is not always about us vs them is such a delightful experience. And this is exactly what Sushant is doing. Thank you Faye for this beautiful conversation. And Rani KoHEnur…thank you for being YOU.

    Hi Faye, glad to see you back, just a small suggestion to the editor, once the guest speaking keep the cut long enough until the speaker ends his/her response. Cutting it too frequently, takes away the essence from it and rather focuses on how you(host) are reacting to their sentences.

    Maybe, this new breed of human beings are a step toward a different kind of evolution of mankind( for whatever reason)...so I guess we have to accept them as they are without giving them the right to marry or procure children ....I am against surrogacy too . .... I have been a widow for the past twenty nine years ....but, I have become emotionally detached over the years ,& have created an invisible shell around me ..I talk to a man the way I talk to a woman ...just platonic ...I don't get attracted to any man ...let alone a woman.......so I just don't get this new breed of sexuality .......God save us !!!!!

    Equal rights is one thing, we all support it. But let's not invert reality. Soppy one liners like 'motherhood is an emotion' might sound good, but motherhood is a biological process. We are a sexually reproducing species. Give people the right to be whatever they want to be, but don't mistake a bell-curve for a constellation. Adopt, love your kids and be happy, but let's not fool ourselves. This wokery is about being 'queer' and playing identity politics, not about rights. An alphabet soup will invariably boil down to the individual, so instead of constantly adding letters to the acronym, it would do us good to treat individuals as what they are, rather than conjure up convenient 'communities' to further sinister political ends. I'd love it, Faye, if you also call Laxmi Tripathi to discuss her ideas on transgenderism.

    Exactly... Sadly Faye also joined the status quo in support of mutilating children and throwing women's rights under the bus to "appear" more inclusive by kicking women out as an "identity" meant to be purchased n sold in a capitalist system by men... All this for the likes of mainstream media.

    Well, I do have a few notes- n questions- primarily the focus on lgbtqia community, equality, rights, believe me when I say this I’m no hater, but I don’t buy the argument there has been discrimination, let me start with science and studies and research done so far, 1. No scientific research done till date proves there is a genetic or chromosome level association to feeling trans, except for the intersex community where it has been proved there exists a slight genetic difference . 2. As Rani/ Sushant rightly mentioned trans ppl have existed from the very beginning, so then why such a hue n cry ? Which leads to my next question or rather safe assumption 3. This is a propaganda, which personally I don’t have a problem with unless the community itself feels entitled to discriminate against society at large. A propaganda usually yells foul play , agenda, and malice- is it in fact an attempt to shift the power dynamics in the society?:) from man to trans? Well again as long as the fight itself isn’t aimed at power play, all’s good, but again looking at the tone and slight aggression too in the voice of Rani/ Sushant, it makes me believe it’s definitely not a struggle for an empathetic society, all inclusive, but rather a struggle for shift of power dynamics:) as she rightly mentioned power was theirs in olden days, they were royalty- there goes equality right out of the window:(
