In Las Vegas, women bench-press 300 pounds. In India, transvestites, eunuchs, and straight married men marry for one night. How far would you go to cross the boundaries of gender?
Every April, the Indian village of Kufer Gang throws a wedding bash like no other. Thousands of brides line up to get married on the same day. But it's not just their huge numbers that set these newly weds apart, some already have spouses, even children at home, yet they come here to marry, consummate those unions and the next day dissolve them. What's more, all these brides were born men.
In April, as the extraordinary event nears, thousands come from all over India, for a religious festival that dates back hundreds of years. The wildly diverse crowd includes straight men, gays, bisexuals, even eunuchs. In India, which sends men to prison for homosexual activity, this is a flagrant violation of the established order. Few topics are more taboo here than cross-dressing and changing gender. But once a year, at Kufer Gang, these outsiders feel free to be themselves.
This trip is the first for Shey Lynie who prefers not to reveal his true name. He has a wife, and he is a father, but he often leaves his family to meet up with other men. At home, this reality goes unremarked upon.
"My family knows all about me, they have known for many years, but they don't speak openly about it."
Shey Lynie enjoys the feel of women's clothing and makeup.
"Ever since I was a child, I liked wearing feminine clothes. I like to wear lipstick and makeup. I used to ask myself, 'am I really a girl?'"
Kufer Gang offer Shey Lynie a setting in which to live out his fantasies, but many here have taken fantasy a dramatic step further.
