A Theme of Survival in A. Revathi’s Autobiography “The Truth About Me”: A Tragic Life Of Hijra

Abstract

Life is full of surprises and twists  one person may have a happy moment in other hand others have tremendous moment .In a hetero normative patriarchal social setup, the statistics of  gender always resembles a circular figure, where the central co-ordinates are assigned to the “male” gender, thereby placing the “female” gender at the periphery. Feminists opposed this central-periphery , binary and demanded relocation of co-ordinates. But, due to the emergence of the Gay, Lesbian, Queer and Transgender studies, this entire circular geometric structure of hetero normative gender studies was critically questioned and challenged.
