A. Revathi - Revathi: A Life In Trans Activism - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: " An unforgettable book A Life in Trans Activism will leave the reader questioning the 'safe and 'comfortable binaries of male/female that so many of us take for granted." - Feminism in India Born in Southern India to a conservative family of modest means it wasn't long before Revathi noticed she wasn't comfortable participating in life as a man. This realisation set her on a long and winding search for survival and for a life on her terms. From the supportive yet strict - and at times exploitative - hijra communities to non - profit spaces rife with other forms of discrimination Revathi made a name for herself as a fearless advocate for sexual minorities and Dalit rights. In an intimate months - long conversation with Nandini Murali Revathi speaks not only about her own journey but also about the obstacles and challenges faced by another oft - overlooked part of Indian society: trans men. The result is a free - flowing and brutal account of life on the margins that is also shot through with the bright lights of friendship determination and solidarity.
