Abstract
People confuse or link gender and sexual orientation but they are, in fact, two separate things. Gender is who you are. It is the internal feelings of being a man, woman, or something outside of this traditional, binary understanding. Someone who is transgender does not feel that who they are on the inside matches their assigned gender on the outside. Gender identity refers to a person's understanding of their gender; that is, the gender with which they identify. Transgender is the term used to describe someone who identifies with a gender that is different from their biological sex. While people are born with male or female chromosomes, this does not necessarily dictate gender. Though they are commonly misunderstood, gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same. Many obstacles may lead to distress, including a lack of acceptance within society, direct or indirect experiences with discrimination, or assault. These experiences may lead many transgender people to suffer with anxiety, depression or related disorders at higher rates than non transgender persons. For these individuals, the significant problem is finding affordable resources, such as counseling, hormone therapy, medical procedures and the social support necessary to freely express their gender identity and minimize discrimination. Generally most of the trans literature focusses on the pain, discrimination and the violence trans people experience. But here is a poet, H.Melt, who expresses his feelings in all together different way. What is really exceptional or unique about their poetry is that they create their own world and gives a reason to all of their transgender friends to smile with them. In fact, through the present paper I just want to salute H. Melt for their positivity and a power to face all the absurdities of life with great strength and courage.
