In this Monday, Jan. 12, 2015 photo, pictures of Pakistani transgender people are spread on the ground of an apartment shared by a group of dancers in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Male and female roles are clearly defined in Pakistan, and the transgendered often face harassment and abuse. One role where they are tolerated is as dancers at weddings and other celebrations at which men and women are strictly segregated. In between the dancing and showers of rupee notes, they must fend off groping from drunken guests. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)
