How much would you say the kishmiri trans community differ than other trans communities of the subcontinent? What are their similarities? Are they also mainly a transfem community or are other trans people also a part of it?
In your previous reply you mentioned that kishmiri transgender community act as.a matchmaker in the community. This is not something i have heard of being associated with khwaja sra community in pakistan, what do they in this role, can you elaborate on that? Are they actually part of the comolete matchmaking process or the wedding process. Is it a historical role they're filling and if yes, how does it has changed post-colonialism?
As all sorts of human rights are becoming more visible in pakistan, it is causing an increased divide among the younger and older populations in how they perceive the world, things they disagree on, and the traditions they want to follow or not follow. The khwaja sra community is also obviously going through similar process, how do you think the kishmiri trans community is faring in this regard and are they able to bridge some gaps b/w the younger and older generations? Do older trans people show more or less tolerance for change in their community compared to male and female communities there?
They're matchmakers but what about their own matchmaking, do kishmiri trans community also believes in spiritual asexuality?
