Nonna Ahmed is a living taboo a little
pity me a tenor blah if I had another
life then I would just pray to God and
ask him to make me either a complete man
or a complete woman it’s early and not a
mixture with me not an in-between his
life is no life mouna belongs to a group
known in India as hydrous or eunuchs
Indians consider hydras to be an
entirely separate gender like most UNIX
Nona was born physically male but in her
heart she felt very different under odd
modular gable from the soul that is
within me I have always felt like a girl
look and I have never considered myself
a boy to find a place in society
Mona embraced her only real option she
joined the eunuchs Mona had her male
sexual organs completely removed she was
physically transformed body hair
vanished her voice changed and she
developed breasts and for 40 years Mona
made her living the only way a eunuch
can by singing and dancing at weddings
and births celebrations
in India more than half a million
eunuchs live on the fringes of society
over time they forge their own families
with values and rules of conduct today
Nona’s going to visit her eunuch family
she’s partly supported by her two
disciples Nargis and Sonam I don’t have
any child of our own so these are our
children
the trio scouts the streets can be seen
for work and jesting with potential
customers Lisa VI – Raja
after a bit of searching they hit pay
dirt a young couple has yet to receive
the blessings of the eunuch they’re
believed by many Indians to possess the
power to both bless and curse in killed
Wallace there is power in their blessing
us even Paris to God aren’t as powerful
as the blessings of the eunuchs sonam
attends to the customary blessing well
Nargis and Mona joked with the family
about future children
Mona dreams of the day when Indians see
her as more than just a eunuch but a
complete person Jew Needleman idiot I
wish everyone would consider us as
humans and not think of us as a third
sex why should we do that until that day
India’s eunuchs will continue as they
have for generations living taboo lives
singing dancing and surviving
