Transgender Identities explores the complexities of transwomen identities in the context of Pakistan with an insight into the traditional and evolving transwoman, and the intersectionalities that are present within those communities.
Saeed explores the historical background of the transgender community in South Asia, the cities and the communities that impact the lives of transwomen in Pakistan, and how generational differences impact their lives and identities. Through interviews with 26 khwaja saras, Saeed brings together a comparative analysis of both these communities and explore in greater depth the fluid nature of the identity of these transwomen.
Dr Sheba Saeed is Lecturer at RMIT University, Vietnam. She is the author of Begging, Street Politics and Power: The Religious and Secular Regulation of Begging in India and Pakistan (2022).
