Hombres y Mujeres transexuales musulmanes practicando el ramadan en la India

Durante el mes sagrado del Ramadán a la comunidad «waria» reúnen para romper el ayuno y orar juntos. ‘Waria‘ es un término derivado de las palabras ‘Wanita’ (mujer) y ‘pria’ (hombre). En su casa como un lugar «waria» para orar, después de su primer fundador Maryani que años pasados  murió.
Durante el mes de ramadán que empieza el 8 de julio del 2015, Yogyakarta una mujer transexual de origen indú «indonesia» practica el  Ramadán junto a un grupo de transexuales musulmanes en Indonesia se reúnen regularmente en la escuela Al-Fatah islámica en las afueras de la ciudad de Yogyakarta para practicar su fe.

Al igual que millones de musulmanes de todo el mundo que también están participando en el ayuno, se abstienen de comer y beber durante el día y escuchan como se recita el Corán, según Stephen Suleeman, profesor en el Seminario Teológico de Yakarta que ayuda a organizar programas relacionados con temas LGBT. Ellos visitan los cementerios de sus familiares y otras personas transexuales que han fallecido. Cuando el sol se pone, rompen su ayuno juntos como una familia, en uno de los pocos centros sagrados en el país de mayoría musulmana, donde hay espacio para que la gente de un «tercer género».

La escuela islámica, o Pesantren, es un paraíso para los waria – transexuales indonesios que fueron asignados masculino al nacer, pero sienten que tienen las almas de las mujeres. La palabra es una mezcla de la palabra indonesia «Wanita», es la mujer, y «pria», que significa hombre. Otros centros de culto en el país las mujeres y de los hombres entre sí durante las oraciones estrictamente separados, dejando los waria con pocas opciones de lugares para orar.

El Al Fatah Pesantren fue establecido por un waria nombrados Maryani , para ayudar a sus compañeros transexuales musulmanes se reúnieran y adorar a Dios libremente.

Waria son visibles en la cultura de Indonesia, a pesar de que a menudo son las víctimas de la discriminación en el mundo real.

Todavía no han sido aceptadas por la sociedad indonesia más amplia, dijo Suleeman.

«Ellos aparecen en las noticias, en las películas, en las comedias de televisión, etc.,» dijo Suleeman HuffPost en un correo electrónico. «Pero sólo como artistas. La gente todavía no se les ha dado el estatus completo como de igualdad con los otros dos sexos.»
