  We got stared at a lot. People asked out loudly—some out of curiosity,others out of malice—whether we were men or women or ‘number nines’or devadasis. Several men made bold to touch us, on our backs, on ourshoulders. Some attempted to grab our breasts. ‘Original or duplicate?’they shouted and hooted. At such moments I felt despair and wonderedif there would ever be a way for us to live with dignity and make a decentliving.Revathi was born a boy, but felt and behaved like a girl. In telling her lifestory, Revathi evokes marvellously the deep unease of being in the wrongbody that plagued her from childhood. To be true to herself, to escapethe constant violence visited upon her by her family and community, thevillage-born Revathi ran away to Delhi to join a house of hijras. Her lifebecame an incredible series of dangerous physical and emotional journeysto become a woman and to find love.The Truth about Me is the unflinchingly courageous and movingautobiography of a hijra who fought ridicule, persecution and violenceboth within her home and outside to find a life of dignity.
