This book explores the fluid, mutable and contingent ways in which
transgender men in Malaysia construct their subjectivities. Against
the dearth of academic resources on Malaysian trans men, this
ground-breaking monograph is rooted in the lived experiences of
Malaysian trans men whose vicissitudes have mostly been hidden,
silenced and overlooked. Comprising diverse age groups,
ethnicities, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds and
religious persuasions, these trans men reveal how they navigate
life in a country with secular and religious laws that criminalise
their embodiments, and the strategies they deploy to achieve
self-determination and self-actualisation despite being perceived
as aberrant and sinful. This book demonstrates how negotiations
with constitutive elements such as gender identity, social
interaction, citizenship, legality, bodily struggle, medical
transitioning and personal spiritual validation condition the
becomings of Malaysian trans men.
