එකම අස්ථියක්වත් දිවේ නැතත්, එයට පහසුවෙන්ම හදවතක් බිඳිය හැකිය. එබැවින් ඔබේ වචන ප්‍රවේසමෙන් පරිහරණය කරන්න.

වෛරය නෙමෙයි... ආදරය පතුරවන්න...
එකිනෙකාට ආදරය කරන්න. ඔයාට ඕනෙ විදියට මිනිස්සු වෙනස් වෙන්න ඕනෙ කියලා හිතන්න එපා. ඒ අය කවුද කියන දේට ආදරය කරන්න. ඔයාගේ කාරුණික හදවත ඔයාව මේ ලෝකේ ඉන්න ලස්සනම මනුශ්‍ය‍යා බවට පත්කරනවා... ❤

In other news, check out this music video. Brilliantly coined term #PonNaha to refuse name calling just because someone is who they are.

"Eka mawakage daru kala bawina" borrowed and perfectly making sense. We all deserve to live as equals in society, is the message. Hats off!

[NTN Sri Lanka @NTN_SL]

Be mindful of your words. Stop using the word Ponnaya as a term to refer to a person who is weak, despicable or have failed to meet any social standards.

Use more appropriate adjectives next time.
Try: gutless wonder, reprehensible, vile, traitorous, fraudulent.

[NTN Sri Lanka @NTN_SL]

We kindly request everyone to refrain from calling the President or any politician 'Ponnaya' at any protest and on media.

Ponnaya is a common slang word used as a scornful characterisation of transgender and gender diverse persons. #PonNaha

1/3

[NTN Sri Lanka @NTN_SL]

Even when you use it without the gender and sexual connotations it isn’t without them. The word still brings us pain and isolates us. The members of the LGBTQ community are also part of the front lines, standing with you, protesting & voicing our support for change. #PonNaha

Today being #TransDayOfVisibility, the @NTN_SL has released this 🔥🌈✨ music video rejecting a common discriminatory slur and calling for inclusion, acceptance & equality.
https://t.co/IuxcTLySmz

The video ends with a note about the psychological harm caused by discrimination.
