Project n° 580247-EPP-1-2016-1-FR-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN The third sex of Pakistan Last December I went to Pakistan for a job. I photographed the fast-growing transgender community. By 2016, the Pakistani government introduced a number of laws that, among other things, allow transgender people to list a third gender category on their ID. In practice, they are still not accepted by the more conservative sections of the population. What I found so special about Pakistan was that Pakistan saw transgender like a kind of saints, despite the stigma surrounding the Pakistani transgender community. It is an ancient Pakistani tradition of hiring transgendered as dancers at weddings, at baptismal ceremonies and for other events. In this picture you will see actor Lucky on the way to such an event.
