J.Mercy Navis Abinaya, Dr.V.Chanthiramathi
Abstract
Gender preconceptions often lead to prejudice and sexual assault against transgender people in society. They need to dismantle the myth of the archetypal society to get past this catastrophe. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi's autobiography Me Hijra Me Laxmi has been examined for the current study Me Hijra Me Laxmi was perceived as a major attempt to refute and dispel common stereotypes about transgender people. This article discusses the positive outlook and capacity for self-sufficiency of the multi-talented and well-known social activist Laxmi. The primary goal of the text is to debunk many myths and preconceptions regarding transgender people, or Hijras, and to inspire readers to approach their shift with optimism. The study presents clichés of mainstream culture, in which the general public and law enforcement officials do not even regard Hijras as fellow human beings. Their rights had been violated and they suffered humiliation. Me Hijra Me Laxmi dispels many of the myths and stereotypes that the general world has about hijras.
