THE SELF-CREATION OF SAFE SPACE BY LGBT.

After reading this chapter and from our classroom discussions, I am thinking about my country ‘Nepal’ Why in my country we never identified these kinds of people. May be they are few in my country, may be because of our culture, may be they are not open because of safe space or lack of diversified and complex community. Now I realize that before we don’t have space for third sex even in our Constitution, while making citizenship and passport, they have to select either male or female. But I heard that in our new constitution, just released a couple of months ago have provision for third sex. The most amazing things for me is that I spent almost a decade in teaching field, always surrounded by adolescents and adults, I didn’t even realize about LGBT. Not only me, we never discussed about these things in our teaching community. In my culture we believe in early arranged marriage, now I am thinking why there is a higher suicidal rate either male or female in newly married couples. I am not sure but now I can guess the reason is.They are in high risk,they get married because of family pressure even though they understand their biological differences. I think, they need some safe space like GLBFO to open up, interaction and exchange their feelings in my country too.
