Its with great pleasure that we would like to announce the formation of TTGMT *( Tri-Testicular Gay Men’s Trust)*. To the lay man this is an association of gay men with three testicles. TTGMT will strive for the equal status of Tri-testicular men amongst the LGBT community. The LGBT community is rife with discrimination and we Tri Testicular Gay Men find no place in it. It is with this intention that we have decided to come together and form our Trust that will take care of Gay men who find themselves with more balls than the common ordinary gay man.
While it is obvious that a man with more balls should be respected, but in this new age anti-patriarchal society, we are being pushed to the fringes of the LGBT community. The Transgender lobby has espoused its cause well and we take great inspiration from them. Considering that they have no balls and occupy one end of the spectrum it is heartening to see how they have rallied and stood up against the discrimination faced in the LGBT community. The hijras in particular have done an amazing effort by distinguishing themselves from the gay men and have paved the path for us . Unfortunately we TTGM have been further discriminated by the transgender and Hijra groups as they have refused to liaise with Gay men with more balls. We were told that having an extra testicle does not make us more man , and that we should have our mental health checked for claiming to form such a group. We have been most disheartened to receive such hostility from a marginalised group such as the TGs and hijras. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi even disallowed us an invitation to her Super Indian Queen Contest, “No men with 3 balls”, she roared,” I cant even handle two yet”! The gay men have always discriminated against us , they are insecure about our natural assets and our sexual proclivities. We have not been included in the MSM circle which is famously referred to as Ashok Row Kavi’s balls. When we contacted Mr. Row Kavi , he said , “ Everyone has a ball in the MSM circle , why do you need an extra one”. We have faced discrimination even in this space. Where do we go? We hence approached our favourite lawyer Mr. Aditya Bondopadhyay over phone , but I think we got bad network , we have noted down some of the things he screamed out painfully and are on the look out for a translator, since we are not sure what the terms meant. Some of us feel it could be Bengali, while others believe that it was Haryanvi. We felt that although he was very keen to help us, we were confused with his tone. We think it was a bad network. We discussed about approaching other groups in Mumbai, but decided against it , since we felt that unless we consolidate our identity , we cannot gain ground in forming our space. However we have not given up, we have decided to form this group of TTGM with or without the help of other sexual minorities. This is a call to all gay men with more balls, if you do have them please get in touch with us on the below Email ID. We will tell you about our cultural heritage and how tri testicular men were venerated in the old days. We will also deal with your counselling needs and underwear issues . We are documenting this exercise so that funding agencies pay specific attention to our needs.
