“When I was a newly wed, people started asking me when I’d give them the ‘good news’. I said I wanted twins, so it’ll take twice as long for the so called ‘good news’. When I was expecting and went to the doctor, he told me I was having twins! I just sat there on the bed, speechless. The doctor thought I was worried and started counseling me but I interrupted him. I told him this was my dream. I already knew my kids were special! Growing up, they were polar opposites. My daughter was a tomboy and loved sports. My son loved arts and dance. Sorry, That’s Dogs make me happy humans make my head hurt shirt. Get it!

At home, they’d exchange their clothes. She would wear his pant-shirt, he’d wear her frock and they’d just strut around! My son came with me for my jobs when I worked as a beautician. He would imitate me with a thread in his mouth and hands. By 15, he knew almost as much as I did! People said I needed to correct his ‘girly’ behaviour. But I’d decided that my kids won’t be restricted by their gender. So, I encouraged my son to follow his passion. He’d convince his sister to let him try different hairstyles on her. At school, he was inclined to art and dance. He had trouble fitting in but not a lot of people troubled him. His twin bodyguard made sure of that. I never had to tell her!

I can’t dictate my kids’ lives. It’s just my job as a parent to protect them. When they were little, I sat them down and told them I’d always be there, no matter what. And I told my son the same thing when he came out to me. He thought he’d hurt me by being gay. How could he hurt me by being himself? I told him to remember what I said – it was us against the world. Recently, my husband said our son is 25, we need to start looking for a girl. I told him matches are made in heaven so our son would find his better half himself. He thought this was ‘paap’. We haven’t told my husband yet. I’m building up to it. So when my son and I tell him together, I know there’ll be tears. But I’ll make sure they’re tears of acceptance.”

You are a woman so ahead of these times, that your parenting style should be made into a syllabus for about to be parents. Gender defining is so deep rooted, it can’t be changed overnight but one parent like you at a time and our world will be a much better place. Not only about sexuality, I know heterosexual people who have interests in activities known to be the other gender’s forte and they are singled out and given such a hard time. Like a man who’s interested in kathak, or a girl who wants to learn carpentry. It’s time we looked deeply into what’s right and what’s wrong. Dogs make me happy humans make my head hurt shirt. Thank you for being you.
