This paper engages with the ways and processes through which gender \ndiversities are accommodated. Taking the case of trans women of Kerala, a\n small South-Indian state known for its high development indices despite\n low economic growth, the paper discusses the processes which involve \ndifferent approaches to activism and their varying receptions . The \ntransgender communities in Kerala today, when compared to the rest of \nthe country, at the outset although certainly arguably enjoy a \nsurprisingly respectable status. With exceptions, they are no longer \nforced to run away to a strange city that does not even speak their \nlanguage. An emerging trend in this context is the \u2018trans marriages\u2019, or\n the heterosexual conjugality practiced by trans women and trans men. \nUsing excerpts from interviews and interactions with ten trans women who\n are popular and at the forefront of the present day movement, and other\n secondary materials to support, the attempt is to understand and \nanalyse the drastic changes and developments that happened within a very\n short time-span. The relevance of the questions I ask is in the changed\n social and political context where the law, the state and the civil \nsociety are accommodative of and more open and sensitive than before to \nsexual and gender diversities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having done this, the paper goes \non to introduce the case of trans men, and proposes to make sense of the\n articulations of masculinities by the trans men of Kerala as an \nassignment for the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
