For years, transgender individuals have struggled for acceptance, protection, and visibility even among other minorities. With the list of states legalizing gay marriage growing and broad acceptance into pop culture, the gay and lesbian population has gained increased visibility and protection in recent years. However, transgender individuals have not been afforded the same rights. The project is an effort to encourage the society to emphasize and acknowledge the transgenders. Through the medium of poetry. Poems based on different emotions of a transgender is the outcome of this effort.

The following report describes my journey as I broaden my understanding of the Transgender community and subject and arrive at a design solution that allows me to contribute with the best of my abilities as a visual communicator in a meaningful way to the same. I have tried to understand the existing attitudes and emotions of the transgender people and society and to weave together a series of poems as it’s reflection. The research represented here cannot be considered complete for I know I have only scratched the surface, but it is a start in trying to understand where the problem lies, and the steps needed to be undertaken to rehabilitate this minority community who are very much a part of Indian past, present and the future.
