Trauma regarding the gender identity of a transgender individual since childhood affects one’s growth as a person. This study aims to contribute to the existing body of literature in transgender experiences in India by examining the specific traumas faced by this community. It explores the psychological distress arising from societal rejection including depression, anxiety and pervasive sense of isolation. By amplifying their voices and shedding light on their struggles this study seeks to foster a better understanding of the challenges faced by these individuals and promote more compassionate and inclusive society. Through the selected life writings, The Truth About Me: A Hijra Life Story by A. Revathi, Transgender in India: Achievers and Survivors by Dr. C.K. Gariyali IAS, We are not the others by Kalki Subramaniam, this study examines the psychological and socio-cultural ramifications of the ‘colonizer colonized’ dynamic.
