The world keeps taunting him as girlish but the fact is that, biologically, he is a boy. And, he is always attracted to guys. Is Laxmi both a man and a woman? Or, perhaps, neither a man nor a woman? The first inklings and stirrings of lust that Laxmi remembers came from noticing big, strong arms, the hint of a guy s moustache over his lips, billboards that advertised men s underwear. Laxmi found this puzzling initially. Was there a woman inside him who couldn t really express herself because of some last-minute mix-up that god did at the time of his birth? Struggling with such existential questions, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, eminent transgender activist, awakens to her true She is Laxmi, a hijra. In this fascinating narrative Laxmi unravels her heart to tell the stories of the men– creators, preservers, lovers, benefactors, and abusers–in her life. Racy, unapologetic, dark and exceptionally honest, these stories open a window to a brave new world.
