This introductory volume studies the challenges faced by the
transgender community in India. It traces the history of the
representation of the community in Hindu texts to understand the
evolution of their status within Indian society. The book looks at
various themes such as the concept of establishing identity through
the processes of 'coming out' and 'transitioning' and analyses how
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, nation, religion, and
ability have cross-influenced to shape the transgender experience
and trans culture across and beyond the binary. Lucid and topical,
the book debunks myths and critiques the stigma and discrimination
surrounding the transgender community. It will be an essential read
for scholars and researchers of gender studies, queer studies,
exclusion and discrimination studies, political science, sociology,
social anthropology, and South Asian studies.
