We Are Not The Others: Reflections of a Transgender Artivist

I speak

because we need to be heard,

I write

because we need to be understood,

I dare

because we need to survive.

- Kalki Subramaniam

'We Are Not The Others' is a strikingly moving book that touches the heart of its readers, and takes them on a furious and empathetic journey into the personal lives of transgender people of India. It is a one-of-a-kind book from India's renowned transgender rights activist Kalki Subramaniam who blatantly and honestly speaks about the joys, hopes, struggles, and despair of a transgender person, the author herself, and ferociously upholds her dignity and that of others like her.
