So transgender people have a role to fulfil in Kashmir society? What status does that give them?

Sounds like an important and challenging theme, I wish you the best of luck! How have you worked to find characters to participate? And what plans do you have on how to spread the word and message of your film (for example to transgender communities in other territories)?

Actually things are quite different than what an outsider would expect considering the context. Traditionally this community covers the role of marriage matchmaking and performing at weddings. Generally speaking there's a surprising degree of tolerance towards them, even of course, some radicalized parts of the society behave quite differently. But the most important thing is that things are quickly changing nowadays!

How does that work? I would imagine the society in a place like Kashmir is not very accepting of transgender people (or maybe I'm just biased)?

So it’s not like at the gym where random people go up to each other and give advice. There’s a comment section for a reason. It seems like quite a few people shared your opinion anyway and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. I was only trying to show appreciation for someone leaving feedback that could help improve OP’s future projects.

What are your views on elitism and gatekeeping in classical music? Any thoughts on how to balance music education, accessibility, diversity, inclusion of new works, and rethinking the very stiff way we consume this music in symphony halls?

All we have when it comes to guns are lockdown drills, but no Police/Metal Detectors. Ironic since it’s in the most dangerous city in California, but it’s in the safe part so oh well

Probably see my dad dump it into failing stocks and lose it all. If I actually had the money I would put it towards college.

I usually spend around 8 hours a week on homework, but I usually rush it. Ironically the public school I am assigned to allows AP’s in sophmore year, while mine allows AP’s in Junior year, with the exception of a language.
Class size is usually 12 people, and the school is 9-12

In your experience what does it take to perform music at a very high level?

Thanks for the reply! Kind of what I expected, but I have a feeling that in the end, assuming you don't go to college for art history or something, it'll be worth it.

I thought so too, but then he said something about "the Bay Area" and I realized it was California.

OP is in the USA. Unless you meant the United Mexican States.

How would you rate your country’s schools compared to the US? Would you say it’s much better, worse, or about the same?

Good luck! Tough subject but important - what about your access to people, I could imagine it is hard to get people to express themselves on camera on this subject?
