Since our creative writing lecturer
went to Bali, he sent his friend, Mbak Abmi to lecture us. She has ever come to
the class with the ‘Bag it’ Movie review. Surprisingly, she now came with the
woman with grey cardigan, long hair and a piercing in her nose. As she walked
into the left-back corner seat, everyone started gwhispering. There is an
unusual thing in appearance
When
the guest introduced herself, we were really surprised. With her manly deep and high-pitched voice she told her name as
Sonya. While giggling the entire class responded with “Mbk Sonya”. She is a
transitive oftenly called as ‘Waria’ in Indonesia. She was born in Klaten but
for her, Yogyakarta became her home since she finished her study in vocational
school.
In
Indonesia, most of ‘Waria’ considered as a jobless nuisance. Whose job is
singing awfully on the road seeking for penny from the drivers. But Sonya works
as a bridal make-up, cook, and beauty consultant. She also joint herself as an
activist in PKBI (Perkeumpulan Keluarga Berencana Indonesia).
Her trasitive
life began when she was a child. She often bullied by her male friends thus she
decided to play along the female ones. Then, she began to be pleased and
comfortable with them. Playing doll,
make-up, and cooking instead of palying football like a man. Her parents later
found out her new habbit and forbid her from goofing around with the. But, she still
continued to play with her female friends secretly.
Sonya
also has visited many cities like Bandung, Bali, and Jakarta. But she is more
comfortable to live in Yogyakarta. For her, big city like Jakarta is nothing to
see but water and building. It was really displeased her personally. The
other city also didn’t really
acknowledge her and her ‘people’ presence. But, in Yogyakrta she has more
pleasant life. Such “transitive” organization activity also well supported by
the society . That’s why she prefer to live in Yogyakarta. Where she can learn
a lot of lesson and knowledge. She also dedicated herself to help others,
especially the struggle against HIV Aids.
