Readers learned of Revathi's childhood unease with her male body, her escape from her birth family to a house of hijras (the South Asian generic term for transgender people), and her eventual transition to being the woman she always knew she was. This new book charts her remarkable journey from relative obscurity to becoming India's leading spokesperson for transgender rights and an inspiration to thousands. Revathi describes her life, her work in the NGO Sangama, the which works with people across a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations, and how she rose from office assistant to director in the organization. Today she is an independent activist, theatre person, actor and writer, and works for the rights of transgender persons. In the second part of the book, Revathi offers the reader an insight into one of the least talked about experiences on the gender trajectory: that of being trans men. Calling several female-to-male trans persons her 'sons,' Revathi puts before us their moving, passionate and sometimes tragic stories of marginalization, courage, resistance and triumph"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a ReÌvati. 610 20 $a SANGAMA (Organization : India) 650 0 $a Male-to-female transsexuals $z India $v Biography. 650 0 $a Transgender people $z India $v Biography. 650 0 $a Social work with transgender people $z India. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 0 $a Nandini Murali, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116051707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1730DAAFDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
