Breaking the Silence: Understanding the LGBTQ+ Community – A Study of Alternative Realities: Love in the Lives of Muslim Women
Abstract
Gender equality has been a can of worms. From the waves of feminism till LGBTQ, some people, due to their otherness, have endured bigotry and social stigma. We've been fed with heteronormativity for a long time and there exists a void when it comes to homosexual tolerance. Although a lot has been written about them, transgender people still have not been legally recognized worldwide. Their demand for identity and getting rid of the derogatory terms they were labelled with like hijras, chakka, kinnars, jogappa, aravani, aruvani, etc. is visible everywhere. Recently, LGBTQ is considered taboo in society because of some stereotypical mindsets. This chapter focuses on the lives of transgender people in and around Pakistan majorly by dwelling deep into the kind of behavioural patterns society shows toward them by taking the text of Alternative Realities (Nighat M. Gandhi, 2013) as a representation of the LGBTQ community's voice.
