“At the Delhi Queer Pride 2017, I amplified the message around my intersectional identity when along with the rainbow turban, I carried a poster by the group Sarbat that read 'Some Sikhs are gay. Get over it!'” - Sukhdeep Singh (credit photo: Kartik Sharma (QGraphy).

Hey yall! I found this today and I think its worth a read, even if you arent an anarchist it'll prolly align with most of your views and mentions LGBTQ+ Sikhs, feminism in Sikhi, anti- racism, anti-caste, authoritarianism and provides a lot of good sources linking Sikhi to all of those things

“It is okay — and in fact good and necessary — for members of a religion to engage with their religion in a esoteric and transgressive ways that are still healthy” and “Nonmembers of a religion should not use that religion and make jokes about that religion in ways that are disrespectful and churlish to the religion, its adherents, and its beliefs” are two statements that can and should be simultaneously believed.

biting the bullet and reaching out for advice and/or commentary from trans and nonbinary sikhs. other queer sikhs are welcome to respond but would like to focus more from those who have experienced gender dysphoria and/or euphoria. ordeal is under the read more. i am not accepting any kind of hate on this post.

i feel very nervous about writing this but i am also tired of struggling to answer my questions by myself. so, here it goes - hi, i am a young transmasc nonbinary person who was raised as a sikh. i say raised as because while i do appreciate the values of sikhi, i am not religious. i never have been. i feel it is important to also mention that i am mixed (the other half is white european). my relationship with being culturally sikh has always been rocky, but it got more intense as i started to accommodate my needs of alleviating intense gender dysphoria. i’m pretty fair-skinned and generally pass as white. my hair is cut short because wearing it long triggered suicidal feelings from said dysphoria. to put it simply, i do not “look like a singh” anymore, and i have a sickening amount of guilt about it. there is so much pressure to hold strong to sikhi, especially with the history of oppression and scarce representation, that i feel like i’m doing something wrong when i cannot fully grasp the spirit of it. my existence feels wrong. i do not know if it is okay for me to even call myself a sikh anymore. i don’t feel at home with myself or my circumstances. i don’t even know if it’s okay for me to try and continue wearing a kara as someone with shorn hair. everything feels so wrong. i cannot talk to my punjabi parent about any of this. he’s very close-minded and i don’t know how he feels about queer folks. he’s already abrasive when i try asking simple questions about punjabi culture or religion. my chosen name is so different from my legal name, even the thought of trying to get my family to abide by it someday makes me cringe. strangers think it’s cool but i know they’re just going to laugh about it. i feel like i am abandoning everything i should be, just by trying to be more comfortable in my own skin. i don’t know where sikhi fits within my transition goals, and it feels like a heavy burden.

Sarbloh Kara Pure Iron Sikh Singh kaur Round kada khalsa 5ks kakar bangle H15A

New Sarbloh Pure Iron Sikh Singh Kaur Round Kada Khalsa 5Ks Kakar Kara Bangle

Design: H15A

Weight of this Kara is approximate 325-470g.

Width & Thickness is approx. 16 mm

SARBLOH Pure Iron KARA (Variations are measured by inner diameter of Kara)

These kara are from the Holy and Sacred Land of Shiri Amritsar Ji (The City of Golden Temple/Darbar Sahib Ji).

There may be little bit rust present which is seen commonly in all SARBLOH KARAS due to purity of the metal/Pure iron/Steel. Please read below more Information about Sikh Kara: A kara (Punjabi: ਕੜਾ (Gurmukhi),کڑا (Shahmukhi) कड़ा (Devanagari)), is a steel or iron (sarb loh)bracelet, worn by all initiated Sikhs. It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks — external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to their religious order. The kara was instituted by the tenthSikh Guru Gobind Singh at the Baisakhi Amrit Sanskar in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained:He does not recognise anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities, performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations; the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as the immaculate Khalsa.The kara is to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Kara is a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shape of a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God. It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text theGuru Granth Sahib says "In the tenth month, you were made into a human being, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to perform good deeds." Similarly, BhagatKabir reminds the Sikh to always keep one's consciousness withGod: "With your hands and feet, do all your work, but let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord."The basic kara is a simple unadorned steel bracelet, but other forms exist. It was historically used like a knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat. Battlefield variations include kara with spikes or sharp edges. Sikh soldiers of the British Indian army would settle disputes by competing in a form of boxing known asloh-musti (lit. iron fist) with a kara on one hand.

Brilliant finish and very decorative. Ideal gift item for loved ones on all occasions.
