khwaja sira

Etymology
From, ultimately partly from.

Emphasising the mismatch between their visible bodies (hazir) and the invisible soul (ruh), they presented the khwaja sira as a feminine soul that was stuck in a masculine body. In presenting this definition of their gender and seeking legitimacy for it, khwaja siras seek to define the distinctiveness of their soul. It is not just any feminine soul but one endowed with certain spiritual qualities.1

Noun

 * 1) A member of a traditional transfeminine third gender in Pakistan and India since Mughal times.
