Is "hijra" a slur? Contextualizing South Asian (trans)misogyny
A note on the sheer cultural diversity of the subcontinent
There is no realistic way for me to exhaustively examine the context of every South Asian transfeminized population (though believe me, I’d like to). As such, I’m going to limit my scope to India, but make a quick initial note about Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Pakistani transfeminized communities, according to my partner’s sisters who are in the community, do consider ‘hijra’ more derogatory than their Indian counterparts necessarily do and refer to themselves as part of the ‘khwaja sira’ community.
I have sadly not been able to speak to any transfeminine people from Bangladesh, but I have spoken to cis queers who have told me that they use ‘hijra’ in a manner similar to India.
If there are desi queers from those communities who would like to add their perspectives, please feel free to reblog. And for the South Asian communities I haven't mentioned (such as Sri Lanka), please feel free to add your perspectives too! I'm curious to hear from you all.
Etymology and Usage
‘Hijra’ in its meaning and usage amongst the cis is most similar to the word ‘naamard’ (NAH-murd). The ‘naa’ is prefixal, a negation akin to ‘non’, while ‘mard’ is the word for ‘man’. It is a way of unmanning a man, of calling him lacking in the essential quality of manhood, of labelling him, in spirit if not in body, impotent.
As such, you can see how it’s an implicitly third-sexing construction (even before you account for how these communities are explicitly third-sexed, denied the epistemic autonomy to be recognized as women and now third-sexed by law). When Nanda called them emasculated homosexuals, it was not far off from how Indian culture forcibly categorizes and marginalizes them.
Members of the community have told me about their frustration and anger at being referred to as such, even though the word has now become a term through which they organize the community and sometimes advocate for themselves, a political reality that does not inherently contradict their campaigns to be recognized as women, and allowed to self-ID as such. (Recall, the Indian government currently mandates legal third-sexing of the hijra: they must first obtain a “Trans Certificate” and be documented as a third sex before they initiate the process of being recognized as women—a process that is contingent on subjecting themselves to transmedicalist scrutiny and gatekeeping!)
Others, however, have pointed out to me that the term is undergoing a process of reclamation. The term ‘hijra’ has a certain degree of legibility in Indian society even as it is a pejorative with degendering and dehumanizing connotations. It is being reclaimed intracommunally, but also by allies who speak of them without the usual stigmatizing connotations that cis society has saddled the term with.
Even still, I have also been told that the manner in which cis and especially Western academics use the term in scholarship—and I’m quoting here—"makes me want to tear my skin out". The fictions of “recognized gender role in Indian society” and “oppressed only after colonialism” are further simplifications and fabrications that obfuscate the role South Asian ruling-class collaborators eagerly played in petitioning for those colonial-era laws, and ignore such easily available empirical evidence as the Manusmriti mandating punishments for anyone who sleeps with—ugh—“eunuchs”.
Conclusion
In sum, I’d liken the use of the word “hijra” as analogous to the usage of “queer” in the 90s, as a slur in the contentious, contextual process of being reclaimed. As Aruvi put it to me on Bluesky:
We cannot allow cis people to dictate the discursive and epistemic terms of transfeminine culture. At the same time, the term “hijra” still carries with it heavy baggage due to South Asian transmisogyny as well as the academic misrepresentations and epistemic extractivism that Western scholarship has subjected South Asian transfeminized demographics to.
If you want to know how best to use the term, try to do so without third-sexing, and without promulgating fictive ideas of South Asian cultures being “gender-expansive” and “recognizing more than two genders”. Erasing the marginalization of the hijra is endemic to the way the term is used in the West, and that must absolutely be combatted.
On a final, personal note, I also wish to clearly state that I do not reject the label ‘hijra’ because I consider myself essentially different from them. Many Indian (usually upper-caste) trans women wish to distance themselves from the hijra, as though reproducing our society’s disgust for them will spare them from the same fate. That is not an attitude I share, or wish to normalize. The hijra—both those who affirmatively identify with the term, and those who wish to distance themselves from it—are my sisters.
I have simply not been granted the honor of being part of the communities and kin structures, and I do not wish to appropriate their struggles out of respect. Even still, their struggles are and will always be mine.

Another interpretation of Keph, narrator of The Space God Memoirs, this time looking a bit more chiseled and bad-ass, his orange eyes aglow. Maybe this could be what Keph looks like after rising up from Aruvis and joining the Naiar, at the start of Season 2. It looks like #midjourney is having a slightly easier time generating images of gray-skinned folks now, (at least if you use #alien as a prompt)

okay so this is kollywood not bollywood, i hope that is okay? anyway, i would like to talk about the tamil movie 'aruvi'. first, it's anti-capitalist, so <3 second, the main character, aruvi, gives off so much lesbian energy and i fully believe her and her friend emily (who is canonically a trans woman!!!) are in love. in the movie, aruvi ends up with this bland-ass guy who ruined her life and ughh. the movie deals with rape and HIV/AIDS so TW for that though.
Oohhhh first non bollywood movie!! (iirc which I usually don't)
Any song from it you recommend for me to microdose on the movie?

After my demise, if any of you name your kids Aruvi, I'd be happy. That Aruvi. Tell her not to trust anyone or anything blindly. Tell her to reason everything and tell her to be kind to all. It would make me happy.

The ACT of JOKER
"The worst part of having mental illnesss is people expect you to behave as if you dont" - Joker. But I'm trying to run along with the world, posting something on being clowns. Hence, The act of joker. Experimented by Tamil artists: Applauded beyond awards and cinematic universe. Before #Joaquinphoenix or #HeathLedger were born, let's keep aside when they landed into acting. Presenting the clowns of circumstances, #NADIGARTHILAGAM( the pride of actors) and #ULAGANAYAGAN( Hero of World(cinema)) who have held grief and failures behind the mask and make-up they wore. Here are two excerpt from Rajapart Rangadurai(1973) and Aboorva sagotharargal(1989).
https://youtu.be/mU5127S9EPQ
https://youtu.be/N7gj1GwwgMM
Take a close look at the point of inflection when grief hits Sivaji but applause on the audience front rise. So it does to Kamal when he looks at the mask as a mirror. The lyrics penned by acclaimed Kannadasan and Vaali emphasis their causes and guide the actors emote exponentially within limited time. When I was in awe of Joaquin when he turns around, smears his blood in that legit joker smile. These images popped in. The fan moments in celebrating Joker make #Oscar a sure deal. Why would I summon scenes from 80s? Why refer Joker to jokers? Because Joker is trending. But, the intent of discussing these song scenes back from the 80's made in #Kollywood( Tamil movie Industry) is to break the perception of Bollywood as Indian films. An to widen the perspective towards non-conventional movie making. If interested, see inside how things work. Know potential of Tamil cinema lately? Here's a few to start with. Pariyerum perumal. (Horse mounting Deity) Super Deluxe. Aruvi(Waterfall) Kurangu bommai (Monkey doll) Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru(16 hemispheres/16 extremities) Iraivi(Goddess) Maanagaram(Metropolis) Raatchasan(Demon) Magamuni(great sage) 8 Thottakkal (8bullets) PS: turn on captions/ download subtitles.

Aruvi
There's a scene and there's pin-drop silence moment in the theatre. A great thought from Arun Prabhu Purushothaman. Hitting the reality of the life we live in.
Happiness does not come from adhering to society norms or living to the approval of our surroundings. We live in a big circle of destruction - living modern day human cannibalism - chasing after the evil twins Money and Power.
Happiness comes from within, living the way we want to and indulging in what we are passionate about. To be able to freely differentiate and decide what you desire, want or need.
No modern cinema gimmick frills, but offered an ocean depth characterisation. As Aruvi, Aditi Balan just nailed it!
Life is short.
Life is unpredictable.
Life is irreversible.
From earth you came,
And to earth you will return.
A split second happening can change your life upside-down.
And relationships can go estranged.
Aruvi, a masterpiece of an emotional roller coaster ride. To create awareness on AIDS and the mechanical and "ought-to-be-approved-by-society" lives we live in.
