Transgender author S.Revathi's book was a big success.


Most of us have seen them either on reality TV, harassing people at weddings or births, or begging on the streets. There really has been no middle ground for the transgender community in India so far. But signs of change are imminent.

Transgender author S. Revathi's autobiography The Truth about Me was shortlisted for the Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize last year. The former director of Sangama, an NGO for sexual minorities, Revathi is a well known activist face of the transgender community in south India.
