概要

 In this episode, Patruni Sastry (aka SasWhoMa) – India’s first openly trans non-binary drag parent – invites us into a version of parenthood that resists labels and embraces lived reality. Together, we explore what it means to raise a child within an out mixed-orientation marriage, while navigating identity, visibility, and care in a society that often struggles to make space for difference.From an unplanned journey into parenthood to raising a three-year-old in an environment rooted in both awareness and openness, Sas shares how parenting has expanded – not diminished – their individuality. They speak candidly about fear, especially around societal prejudice, and how community, visibility, and intentional parenting become tools of resilience.This episode also unpacks nuanced ideas – like why Sas chooses not to strictly practice gender-neutral parenting, the importance of not imposing beliefs on children (even progressive ones), and how parenting is less about authority and more about co-learning. At its heart, this is a conversation about raising children – and ourselves – with empathy, curiosity, and courage.Why You Should ListenIf you’ve ever felt like your version of parenting doesn’t “fit the mould”To understand queer parenting in India beyond stereotypes or theoryFor a refreshing, honest take on individuality within parenthoodTo rethink ideas like gender-neutral parenting, visibility, and representationFor a grounded reminder that parenting is a process – not a rulebookNotable Quotes“There are two things in my life which I haven't planned. One was drag and other one was my kid.”“I, as a parent, I never wanted to kind of put my brain into my kid's brain.”“Our society is not gender neutral… I couldn’t push my child into a battlefield unprepared.”“If we don't have representation, we would always assume a certain kind of a family.”“Anything which is stringent in its own nature is problematic.”“Parenting is… a process of self-learning.”“If you are a good parent, you will think about yourself first… selfishly.”Practical TakeawaysParenting ≠ losing yourself: It can expand your identity rather than shrink itAvoid ideological rigidity: Even well-meaning frameworks can become restrictiveEquip, don’t impose: Offer children tools and perspectives, not fixed answersVisibility matters: Representation creates safety – not just awarenessCo-parenting is dynamic: Roles must shift, not stay fixedCommunity is support: Parenting doesn’t have to be isolatedSelf-care is not selfish: Your stability directly impacts your child’s well-beingResources & ReferencesSwikar – The Rainbow Parents: A support network for parents of LGBTQIA+ individuals https://www.swikar.orgInternational Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (May 17) https://may17.orgUnderstanding Gender Identity (UN Free & Equal) https://www.unfe.orgQueer Parenting Narratives (The Wire / IndiaSpend / Gaysi Family) https://gaysifamily.comAbout the GuestPatruni Sastry, popularly known as SasWhoMa, is a Hyderabad-based drag artist, performer, and activist.
