About This Book

The haunting autobiography of a hijra (eunuch) who fought ridicule, persecution and violence both within her home and outside to find a life of dignity. Revathi was born a boy, but felt and behaved like a girl. In telling her life story, Revathi evokes marvellously the deep unease of being in the wrong body that plagued her from childhood. Her life became an incredible series of dangerous physical and emotional journeys to become a woman and to find love.

About The Author

Revathi is based in Salem and is a writer and an activist working for the rights of sexual minorities. She is also a trans woman and belongs to the Hijra community.
