{"product_id":"revathi-a-life-in-trans-activism","title":"Revathi: A Life in Trans Activism","description":"An unforgettable book, A Life in Trans Activism will leave the reader questioning the ''safe'' and ''comfortable'' binaries of male\/female that so many of us take for granted.'' - Feminism in India. Born in Southern India to a conservative family of modest means, it wasn''t long before Revathi noticed she wasn''t comfortable participating in life as a man. This realisation set her on a long and winding search for survival and for a life on her terms. From the supportive yet strict -- and at times exploitative -- hijra communities to non-profit spaces rife with other forms of discrimination, Revathi made a name for herself as a fearless advocate for sexual minorities and Dalit rights. In an intimate, months-long conversation with Nandini Murali, Revathi speaks not only about her own journey but also about the obstacles and challenges faced by another, oft-overlooked part of Indian society: trans men. The result is a free-flowing and brutal account of life on the margins that is also shot through with the bright lights of friendship, determination, and solidarity.","brand":"Tilted Axis Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456499581275,"sku":"9781911284840","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/revathi-a-life-in-trans-activism","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
