Aisha Mughal becomes the first transgender women lecturer in Pakistan. She is highly qualified, and so she became a lecturer at the Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad.

Mughal has completed her high school education in Oman and moved back to Pakistan. Here, she completed her BBA and her Master’s degree from COMSATS university.

Today, she is recognized by many titles listed on her Twitter profile, including Activist, Researcher, and Educational Trainer. She is also the Director Programmes at Wajood Society. Due to her humanitarian work, she was able to join the Ministry of Human Rights of Pakistan and works as a “Transgender rights expert,” which again makes her the first transgender person to be appointed in a Federal Ministry in the country.

She is also the world’s first Transgender Woman to represent the Pakistani Government at the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) Committee in Geneva.  This made Pakistan the first country to have a legally recognized transgender woman in its delegation.  Aisha was also a member of the National Task Force on the Transgender Bill.

A decade ago, people openly mocked transgender individuals for their identity, ways of earning, behavior, and existence – society didn’t accept them as one of us at large. The state didn’t recognize them so much that they weren’t even issued a national ID card. A decade later,  the trans community has finally started working in different fields towards creating a positive image for themselves. Aisha Mughal is no less than a reflection of this transition.

Aisha Mughal, Worlds First Transgender Woman to Represent her Government at UN, Schools Iman Ali for Relating Ugliness with ‘Khusra”

A decade ago, people openly mocked transgender individuals for their identity, their ways of earning, their behaviour, their existence – society didn’t accept them as one of us at large. The state didn’t recognize them so much that they weren’t even issued a national ID card.

Now, a decade later, when the trans community has finally started working in different fields towards creating a positive image for themselves, no one appreciates any mockery against this minority in our society – especially when a celebrity openly ridicules them for their looks on national TV.

In a recent interview, model and actor Iman Ali sat down with host Vasay Chaudhry to speak about her life and choices at length. The host and the model discussed her presence on social media, her husband, and so forth. While explaining to the host why she doesn’t upload a lot of pictures of herself on her Instagram, she shed light on the body image issues she often faces. She then said she thinks she looks like a ‘khusra.’

“People tell me I’m good-looking, but when I stand in front of the mirror, I feel everyone is lying,” she shared. “I can’t even take pictures of myself. Whatever angle I try, I think ‘aye haye, khusra‘. While explaining her struggle, the model and actor used questionable language.

Today, when the transgender community is working so hard to prove themselves as useful and productive citizens, Iman referring to herself as ugly as a khusra on national TV is insensitive, ugly, and, saying the least, ignorant. As a star, she holds great responsibility; she must choose her words mindfully.

Aisha Mughal, a Pakistani transgender rights activist and researcher, schooled Iman on Twitter. She said: The celebrities should act in a responsible way while giving interviews. @ImanAli0 if you think you are ugly, fine, BUT do not relate ugliness with Khusra or Transgender persons. We are a beautiful, strong, successful and productive citizen of Pakistan.
