This narrative that hinduism has always bn inclusive of queerness is a misreading and a blatant denial.

What this narrative does is,it tries to establish the fact tht queerphbia and discrimination agnst queer people came only during colnial phase. Before Hindu socuety was cool. https://twitter.com/iirohitii/status/1278422767864410112
But tht's nt the case. The caste hindu society has always been queerphobic. And i m attaching pictures from the works done by Esvi Anbu,a brilliant trans scholar below.
