Aman, a 22-year-old transgender man from the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, says he was always close to his father. When he was little and it was cold out, his father held his hands to warm them. When he was at university, his father would wait until he got home to eat dinner together, regardless of how late it was.
Trans people have seen some progress in protecting their rights. Supreme Court rulings allow them to self-identify as a third gender, neither male nor female, and have underscored they have the same rights as all Pakistani citizens.
"Nobody talks about trans men or how they are impacted by the act," said Mani. "But this is not the right time to talk about this because of the campaign by religious extremists . I don’t want to cause any harm to the community." Supporters of Pakistans right wing Jamaat-e-Islami party shout slogans during a protest rally against the transgender rights bill in Lahore on October 7, 2022.
Aman grew his hair long and dressed like a girl "just to survive" while still at home, he said. He also felt he shouldn’t do anything to jeopardize the family’s honor. But it all changed when a family member asked outright if Aman was changing his gender. The question inflamed all the doubts and worries his parents already had about his steps to transition. They disowned him, saying he could no longer live under their roof if he wanted to live as a man.
