How should Hindus and Vaishnavas treat people of the third sex?
Hindus and Vaishnavas should not discriminate against, mistreat, or exclude anyone based upon the material body. All beings should be viewed equally as spiritual entities and as parts and parcels of God. Higher qualities such as love, kindness, mercy and compassion should always be cultivated and emphasized above lower qualities like hate, cruelty, fear and suspicion. Hindus should revive their ancient tradition of accommodating the third sex into society and treat everyone with respect.
