Watched this super animation movie at home over the weekend with my son and granddaughter. This is animation of another level. What a delight to watch the flick with a 3 plus little sweetie who thoroughly enjoyed it frame to frame! I could not decide where to focus on: on the antics of my little granddaughter or the picture! The film was an Oscar winner not surprisingly! A compulsory watch! Highly recommended. Imagine a 3-4 year old crooning to Moana and Bare necessities! Pure bliss!

Why not Olympics for the third sex on the lines of Para Olympics.

Is IOA , the International Olympics Association, listening?

I have never been more happier to be an Indian citizen than now, and never been more prouder. Our passport still list three choices for our gender. Our employers do. Our ID cards do. Today is International Women’s Day. Its still March 7th here in the US where only two genders are recognized officially now and the transgenders are in a spot. LGBT however is LEGAL IN INDIA. Recognized in India constitutionally. So on this special day for women of the world, I want to put this question to Olympic organizers and/or the so-called social media influencers or whoever: why not Olympics for the third sex or the LGBT community on the lines of the Para Olympics for the differently-abled. I am of this view after watching the following video:

Not the competent person to comment on this. But had we had sports streamlined for the transgenders earlier on, this situation might not have arisen.

Trump’s ruling is received favourably especially in the sporting world. This perspective requires some serious study. Most of us are in no position to comment on Woke or on LGBT blindly. We need more data. This calls for expert opinion and rethink. However de-recognizing the third sex is extreme in the circumstances. It is not anyway going to be practical solution in Europe or even in India or in most of the world nations for instance. We cannot give up on fellow humanity – the LGBT. Giving the third sex level field to compete with will go a long way in correcting unfair conditions in the sporting arena. Constituting a new and fourth category in sports alongside male, female and differently-abled categories to fit in the third sex will restore equal and impartial justice to all spheres of sports. We cannot bury our necks deep into the mud like the ostrich and live in denial. Then what for are we launching satellites.
