There is discrimination and oppression based on caste and gender in the society. Even though they are born with male or female parts, when they grow up, the behavior towards people with different sexual nature and expression is not respectable. They have to bear the shame in the society.

A discussion program on these issues was completed in Bharatpur on Saturday and a painting exhibition has also started. In the picture made by the painter Suraksha Wagle, a man appears to be menstruating. This is not the painter's imagination, but reality. Men also menstruate. In the description of the

picture, it is said, "Parasexual men naturally menstruate naturally." But we have not identified them. They have been denying their existence. This picture is a deep symbol of the power and rebellion of Dalit queer existence.'

What does the word queer mean? Queer is a broad term that refers to people who do not have a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth, people of gender diversity, and people who have different and diverse sexual behaviors than the sexual and romantic attraction between men and women. This is mentioned in the book 'Dalit Queer Sangharsh Gatha: Dalit Queer and Resistance' edited by Shivahari Gyawali.

 Forty paintings have been put on public exhibition on the road side of Bharatpur Chaubiskothi to show Dalit queer, caste and gender discrimination. The exhibition will be held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 3 pm to evening. Chitwan's social organization 'Samari Utthan Seva', Chittoun Kachhari and youth organization Better Chitwan jointly organized the exhibition.

According to the information given by Shivahari Gyawali, who is also the program manager of Samari Utthan Seva, those 40 pictures were drawn by 40 painters. Before the painting exhibition started, Dr. Jeevan Chhetri had a conversation with the campaigners on the topic of 'Race, Gender and Sexuality: Border Issues'. Vimala Gaik, Milan Bastola (younger brother) and Roshni Karna participated in this discussion.

Vimala Gaik from the Gandharva community joined the school at the age of 6 years and sat on the first bench while the teacher kept telling her that she was not the one who would stay here. In addition to this, she discussed her efforts for education and opportunities by opening a social organization called Samari Utthan Seva while moving forward with various struggles.

Milan Bastola is a member of the LGBTIQ community and also a campaigner for this campaign. He said, 'My brother and I were born. Although I was born as a daughter, I later became like a son by nature. Nothing like that happened in the family. He had one son, it would have been two.' But he is saddened that the state is not protecting his community by making policies and rules. He is living with another female friend.

We two consulted and adopted a daughter, brought her up and educated her. But it was very difficult to register the birth. After reaching class 8, it became impossible to unregister a birth. Birth registration has been done, but it is not yet time to get citizenship. Until the citizenship is issued, it remains unclear whether the birth registration is confirmed or not," he said. He is also hurt that a marriage like his is registered temporarily.
