Importance of Sex Education for Understanding Sexual Orientation ,IGNOU's Progressive Step Forward to Transgenders

Sex education teaches us, sexuality or the orientation of someone’s sexual behavior is something which is completely a person’s own choice. In India if the transgender or a homosexual persons are not treated well, there are various bodies are there to harass hackle them, to mention the social bodies like schools and colleges and government with Article 377.but if this is the only picture of in a country of 1.2 billion people then what these 3 million completely natural human beings(only with different sexual orientation) look up to with hope .

There are people with positive mentality and considering attitude towards these peoples, but they don’t need a special attention they need a fair share of rights like men women. this consideration suddenly vanishes when we take a look towards our own locality specially our own home ,when a boy or girl born we consider his sexual orientation by taking a look at the sexual organ he or she  is having and try to imagine him or her as a boy or girl. most of the kids also consider the same and try to suppress their feelings if they are having any other sexual orientation considering it unnatural or sinful in Indian society .

Here comes the Importance of sex education which not only let young people know about the sexual changes and the safety but also about the different orientation and they are completely natural .but as this country is having a desire to politicize and take benefits of every issue by commenting on them , Article 377 is standing still in its place.

Teaching sex in school will let these young adults be more conscious about their own sexuality and orientation which is important for them to grow them as a human being in life. 

The young one will convince others and the society that any kind of sexual orientation is completely natural only if he has got the confidence in themselves which can be injected in their mind by progressive sex education teachers .recently IGNOU(open schooling university in India) waived fees for transgender  who enrolled in their program which is a applaudable move. But when they revealed how their sexual orientation was considered in their families it left us with a bitter test in mouth. 

Riya Sharma

In case of Riya Sharma she was teased by his brother and tortured by his father for her changing sexual behavior when she was fifteen. 

Bebo

For Bebo , she is so scared of parents till date (who want her to be in army) unable to express the truth of her sexual orientation and living a dual life

. 

Neetu

In case of Neetu it’s a different story altogether  ”I was in a co-ed private school till Class V but my father thought my ‘girly’ mannerisms were because I was hanging out with girls, so they shifted me to a government school. It was hell.”

These people have suffered a lot in their life and reached to this state but if proper sex education has been included in curriculum it would help the other students to understand them better and not to tease or alienate them. 

Proper sex education in India is required for the young adults trying to understand between the difference of right and wrong, natural and unnatural and mostly safe and unsafe.
