KLANG: When transgender activist Malathi was nine, she was expelled from school after being accused of stealing.
The incident was a turning point in her life, which marked the beginning of a journey along a path strewn with pain, torture and tears. She ran away from home soon after the incident and was taken in by a female sex worker who introduced her to the flesh trade. Malathi was just 11 then. “The Malaysian mentality is such that they get all worked up over queer people, so how could we find a job other than providing sexual services?’’ she asked.
Kauslaya, a 28-year-old transgender social worker, began working as a sex worker between the age of 23 and 25. She said being a sex worker was a tortuous journey that exposed her to the ugly side of mankind. She added that the foreigners treated her with kindness, but the local men were very harsh and abusive.
