    Prithviraj Nath thats the point many of us are pondering on Bishnupriya Das...it can be a clever ploy by ABP to say the right thing and yet cause a lot of controversy that they can easily "answer" with that one line at the end...but the fact remains that the "subtle point" will be lost on a whole lot of people...it certainly was on me when i first read it...m happy to re-discover the other angle in this..but as i said, this is too subtle for most people...

    কিনতে গিয়ে দেখবেন, নানা সাইট ভরে রয়েছে এই ধরনের রিভিউ-তে: ব্লার্বে বলা আছে, বইটি ‘ক্লিনিকাল এক্সপিরিয়েন্স ও প্রফেশনাল রিসার্চের ভিত্তিতে লেখা’। অথচ আদৌ তা না, এটা লেখকের কোনও রকম ভিত্তিহীন নিজস্ব মতামত মাত্র, যা একটি গোষ্ঠীর বিশেষ প্রোপাগান্ডা। মনোচিকিৎসক ও গবেষকদের সঙ্গে এই মত মেলে না। এমনকী এ রকম বেশ কিছু বই উইথড্র করাও শুরু হয়েছে! here the writer makes it clear that the books which are meant to cure homosexuality are nothing but propaganda.

    পাত্তা দেবেন না। বুড়ো বয়সে ভীমরতি ধরেছে! these lines are also satiric.here the writer points to the fact that both american psychological association and indian psychiatric association do not consider 'homosexuality" a disease.she also indicates the failure of reparative therapy when she mentions about the confession of Robert Spitzer !! "patta deben na,buro boyose vimroti hoyeche" these lines chides the homophobes.

    Sayan Bhattacharya "এই অসুখ সারাতে উদগ্রীব সকলের জন্য রইল শুভেচ্ছা বার্তা, গেট ওয়েল সুন।" ei last lineta kintu important! The author is saying that those people who want to cure homosexuality/non normative sexuality should get well soon. This means the problem is not with homosexuals but with the ones who think it's a disease!So they have to get well. In that sense, isn't the article a satire on such people? At least the tone of the piece so suggests! However, in these times of short attention span, the article has the scope to be misread as homophobic and can send completely wrong signals to the general public! So the writer should have given a disclaimer at the end clarifying her standpoint! Now this is my opinion...correct me if I am wrong!

    Pompi Banerjee DSM IV is not new. It is neither bible of psychiatry. ICD 10 is also follwed for diagnosis and treatment. DSM V is the latest one and has raised many cotroversies. The previous one was DSM IV TR (text revision). Have read DSM IV TR quite well in my years of training in clinical psychology and I don't see the author fiting into any of the criteriafr didiagnosis. Once again, for the sake of humanity, let's keep tattacks limited to the article and not to the person. Last but not the least, I think I'll Unfollow this post because I am appaled at the judgement, prejudice and the hostile attitude put on display in this discussion. All because you don't understand what she has tried to say in a non-conventional manner - she dared to be different. We go on walks to ask the society to be more tolerant and accepting our different love. But when it comes to us, we can't do the same. Ask yourselves, can you truely expect something from others, if you urself can't do it.? Ppl are calling her crazy because what she wrote, some said she should be beaten. At the end, we are all same animals that can't stand differences in being. No wonder, others react the same way cause they don't understand us. I refuse to be a part of something that is so derogatory. I can't stand the negativity being spewed. See u all on another discussion.

We go on walks to ask the society to be more tolerant and accepting our different love. But when it comes to us, we can't do the same"....

    please...we all are entitled to our opinion of the article and whether or not it puts alternate sexuality and the phobia surrounding it in a negative/positive light...but in no ways does it mean that we will name call her and malign her character or her sanity in undesirable/unconstitutional terms.

    some of you might still feel that she is being "homophobic" in her article (which i dont feel anymore though after re-reading and re-analysing it)...a subject of personal perception...but that can be put across in a dignified way...

    if you feel that she has been unjustified in the way she has portrayed homosexuality or in the way she has used certain words, you are certainly entitled to your perception/opinion of it..but how are you being different by calling her names and resorting to personal attacks?...i would suggest that all of us should just take a re-look and decide whether or not we are behaving in a similar "phobic" manner here..

    Neil Bose abysmal attempt at a satirical article ... the author although has the freedom to let her readers understand and interpret themselves,however,she should have kept in mind how the general 'mass' reaction would be to such 'spicy/masaledar/hetero-concept-patriarchy-supportive' and highly provocative piece of literature that at length re-establishes homophobia and the 'un-natural-ity' ...

    ... in times where parents of queer individuals are trying to accustom themselves and learn/come out/support their children...this may rather be quite a disincentive for them !!!

    Bishnupriya Das @Muskaan even u r not able to understand the satiric tone( if there is one!) so how can we expect that the common paople who are not much well educated to understand that its a satire??,,they would rather become more homophobic and start to believe that its a disease,the language is very harsh,,makes me remember of Harit Kumar

    Pompi Banerjee right now, I am disgusted with the amount of name calling and slangs going on in this discussion. Seriously, those cures she has written about are not of her own, people, those are different methods tried by the society over the years. She is not saying it's a disease, she says ppl may consider it so, while homophobia passes for normality. But the reaction and amount of hatred u all r spewing without even have read and understood the article makes me wonder... are humans really nothing but animals? U gotta discuss something, at least try to remain human and open.

    Muskaan Chakraborty Its trully not understandable.Its too confusing to get the actual sence.And u r right.If she is even supporting homosexuality in the article,it will be impossible for the common people to get it correctly.I was also trying to get atleast the meaning of the heading "lyaje paa",but its also impossible.Either she is not a good writer,or she is extremely homophobic.

    Prithviraj Nath okay people...the confusion apart....i feel the author did try to address homophobia with a view to ridicule rather than promote it..however her sarcasm might be lost on many people to begin with...

    given that,while we all are entitled to express our concerns regarding it being lost on the mass (including many of us here) it is not desirable that we call her names..she is actually an ally..

    but may be a message needs to go to her that her style might be slightly beyond the grasp of the common mass...and that a more straightforward piece may be needed to drive home the point for the hoi polloi....but lets please refrain from abusing..

    Pompi Banerjee Shubh, read again... she says get well soon to the homophobes. And she doesn't say that it's a disease. Really, first rule of a debate is that u check ur facts and quotes. Yes the tone of the article is provocative. She is stepping on the tail of the mass majority, first telling them their pseudologic and then ultimatelyrfuting them with facts. She has done her homework. Dug out the research papers that prove the stupidity of the cures. So yeah, read again. Want a debate? Do it properly with ur facts right and in-context.

    Pompi Banerjee We can disagree with what she has written as well as how she has written it. But that does not give anyone the right to be verbally or physically abusive or presumptious about her education. Do remember you are talking about another person. Criticise the article, but not the person. I say person and not a woman because the sex or the gender doesn't mater. Dignity of life and freedom of speech is for everyone.
