I wanted to share this quote I found on href="http://insideindonesia.org/content/view/624/47/">.
As Shuniyya says in her softly spoken, decidedly feminine voice: ‘People see the waria as sex workers on the side of the streets at night, dressed in mini-skirts, with silicone-inflated breasts as large as watermelons. They see the show business drag queens who perform on stage and on television. They see these waria and think that they know what a waria is. They don’t. The waria they see are just the most obvious and easy to identify, and the ones the straight community are most likely to meet.’
I really enjoyed this article. Though I know it doesn't count as one of the blog posts, I would suggest it to anyone in the class. I wanted to share it with everyone and will be posting it on Twitter.
