The hijras?
There's a reason they come out of hiding only late into the night. (I've had some hilarious encounters with them during my roamings
)
They are easily the outcasts of Indian society. But what's bizarre about the hindus is that some of them consider them "lucky", carrying some kind of fortune omen.
Businessmen seek them every time they open something new. You'll find a hijra cutting the ribbons to the new shop he just opened and (h)she will be quickly escorted out without further ado.
They somewhat don't get the gay treatment coz they totally start dressing in the drag and start behaving like women. To the casual eye on the street, some of them almost pass for women which is outrageous and breathtaking at the same time.
There have been horrid tales of dudes picking up a pro in the street and a penis coming out
Gross!
