Me Hijra, Me Laxmi by Laxminarayan Tripathi
Requirements: .PDF reader, 64.3 MB
Overview: He was born a boy, but never felt like one. What was he then? He felt attracted to boys. What did this make him?
He loved to dance. But why did others make fun of him?
Battling such emotional turmoil from a very young age, Laxminarayan Tripathi, born in a high-caste Brahman household, felt confused, trapped, and lonely. Slowly, he began wearing women’s clothes. Over time, he became bold and assertive about his real sexual identity. Finally, he found his true
self-she was Laxmi, a hijra (a term used in South Asia for transgender individuals).
From numerous love affairs to finding solace by dancing in Mumbai’s bars; from being taunted as a homo to being the first Indian hijra to attend the World AIDS Conference in Toronto; from mental and physical abuse to finding a life of grace, dignity, and fame, this autobiography is an extraordinary
journey of a hijra who fought against tremendous odds for the recognition of hijras and their rights.
