This book fosters a dialogue across academic fields, as authors cross-reference each other?s chapters, comparing and contrasting their views of transgender experience and identity in India. This multidisciplinary approach helps readers understand the complex interplay of factors that have led to discrimination against third gender individuals, as well as paths forward to a more equitable and just future, in ways that go beyond the perspective of a single academic field. This multidisciplinary approach is the book?s most distinctive feature in comparison to existing works limited to individual fields such as anthropology, investigative journalism, and history. The broad scope of Transgender India is relevant to scholars and students in diverse disciplines who seek a greater and more nuanced understanding of the behavioral and societal impact of these issues. 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSex 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aTransgèneres$2thub 606 $aCondicions socials$2thub 606 $aSituació legal$2thub 606 $aSalut mental$2thub 607 $aÍndia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 7$aTransgèneres 615 7$aCondicions socials 615 7$aSituació legal 615 7$aSalut mental 676 $a306.768 702 $aVakoch$b Douglas A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910574066603321 996 $aTransgender India$92991505 997 $aUNINA
