The term “khusra” is derived from South Asian languages, particularly Urdu and Hindi, and is often used to refer to individuals who are intersex or transgender. In cultural contexts, it may denote a specific community of hijras, who are recognized in South Asian society for their unique gender identity and often take on specific roles in various cultural and social contexts.
It’s important to note that the term can carry different connotations depending on the cultural and social context in which it is used. In some cases, it may be used derogatorily, while in others, it may be embraced by the community as a form of identity. As with many terms related to gender and sexuality, sensitivity and awareness of the context are crucial when using or discussing the term.
