Abstract: In a world when women are still striving for equality, some chose this thorny road despite being born as a man. This article discusses the transgender population, in Tamilnadu, as the most double jeopardised and the reasons that foster it with relation to Gayatri Spivak’s book Can the Subaltern Speak?. From a culture that once confounded sexual queerness with divinity, India has become a graveyard for transgender women’s daily lives and dreams, whilst the rest of the world embraces them. Apart from the prejudices and obnoxious attitude towards trans women in Tamil culture, only a few people attempt to consider the reality behind their current situation. A. Revathi, a transgender activist and writer, eloquently documented the lives of transwomen in her book Unarvum, Uyirum. The book was then translated as Our Lives, Our Words by A. Mangai, raising international awareness of the perils that trans women face in South India. This paper applies Gayatri Spivak’s theory of the west’s portrayal of colonised, to the dominant categories of the society and their objectification of trans women. With the facts provided in the book Our Lives, Our Words the article aims to deconstruct the state of affairs of transwomen in Tamil society and culture.
Keywords: Cultural feminism, Queer rights, The Other Gender, Transwomen’s ostracizing, Double Marginalisation, Homophobia, Misogyny towards trans women.
