Cultural Implications and the Transgender Community- Remarks on the Role of Jalsa for Visibility

Author(s) Fathimath Shamneera, Bushra Beegom R K
Country India
Abstract Religion and beliefs play a role in shaping the primary human character. Due to genetic differences and hormonal imbalances, the female gender expression in the male body and the male gender expression in the female body return to their true essence over time. Family and society are alienated when they shift their gender identity through surgery. Religion is also taking a step back from the community most of the time. The transgender community believes in their single faith and moves forward with it. Transgender people practice their rituals named Haldi Mehandi and jalsa when they transform into another gender identity through gender reassignment surgery, from male to female. Constructed thoughts like femininity only towards women and masculinity only towards men, what would be the expressive status of transgenders? Being a part of many celebrations, Kerala excludes the transgender community from many, but they have some rituals and celebrations of their own. The present paper assesses the role of jalsa rituals in a transgender-closed community and to what extent the jalsa ritual liberates transgender communities from excluding other religious ceremonies.
