I think it's important to note that conflating burneshas with american or european transmen might be seen as harmful appropriation. There are similarities, but the reasons for transitioning and the acceptance and struggles faced by burneshas (or any gender-identity that is unique to a foreign culture) are entirely different than the current eurocentric trans identity that we're used to seeing in LGBT circles. It's really interesting to see gender identities outside of the euro/american centric ones, like two-spirit or bakla, but it's important to respect that their culture, struggles and goals are unique and should not be seen as anything besides what they are, and certainly should not be used as ideological leverage.
