    I'm so glad you're running these photos. Waria occupy a strange place in society. They're accepted as entertainers and, in Bugis culture, as priests of a sort, but rarely as people. I'm also glad to see stories that don't portray Indonesia as home to terrorists and Islamic fundamentalists! #seninkami

    I was trying to figure what was bothering me more: the awkward lighting on her face or that weird prosthetic nose about to go on it. Then two and two came smashing together in my head and I realized 1. that's not lighting because 2. that's not a prosthetic nose.
    Rock on, Novi. I promise to catch up eventually. #seninkami

    Man, I really don't understand religiosity*, but I am fascinated by the nature/nurture aspects of it. I am one of those people who just does not need religion/faith in my life, period. Never have, despite my parents' attempts to instill it in me. So obviously "nurture" wasn't enough to make me religious—some kind of "nature" had to be at work in me. Then you have these transgender Muslims, who are excluded from traditional mosques—the fact that they even want to practice this religion anymore is beyond me (but fascinating).

    *I mean religiosity in the sociological sense, i.e., the quality of being religious—not with any negative connotations around excessive/affected piety or whatever.

    I was in Indonesia for about six months at one point, and one of the things that struck me was just how difficult it was for anyone to even consider operating outside of traditional family roles... I was in my 20's and the whole time I was there I couldn't make the family I was living with understand what I did if I didn't live with my parents and wasn't already married. It's was like people who didn't marry and start traditional families didn't even exist, there was no real way to even talk about it... there were families and then there were sex workers, and not much in between. Same goes for participation in religion... for most people it's something that happens all day, every day. Granted, I was living in an agricultural village, and Jogyakarta is pretty progressive as far as cities in Indonesia go, but it makes me happy to see spaces opening up for people like the waria. It can be hard to celebrate small victories when the greater issues are so large (and complicated), but this makes me happy. #seninkamis
