The Truth About Me is a powerful and moving memoir by Priya Sharma, a hijra who was born in India and raised in the United States. In her book, Sharma shares her experiences of being a hijra, a transgender person who is often marginalized and discriminated against in India. She writes about her childhood, her family, her coming out, and her experiences as a hijra in India and the United States.

Sharma's story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. She writes about the pain and rejection she has experienced as a hijra, but she also celebrates the strength and resilience of the hijra community. She writes about the importance of family, friends, and community support. And she writes about the hope that she has for a better future for all hijras.

The Truth About Me is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the hijra community and the experiences of transgender people in India. It is a powerful and moving story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

I was born in a small village in India. My parents were farmers, and I had two older sisters. I was always a tomboy, and I loved to play with my sisters' dolls. But I also knew that I was different from other boys. I didn't feel like a boy, and I didn't want to do the things that boys were supposed to do.

When I was 10 years old, I was raped by a group of boys. This was a traumatic experience for me, and it made me even more confused about my gender identity. I didn't know how to tell anyone what had happened, and I felt like I was all alone.

A few years later, I met a hijra woman who told me about the hijra community. I learned that hijras are transgender people who are born with male bodies but who identify as female. I also learned that hijras are often marginalized and discriminated against in India. But I also learned that the hijra community is a strong and supportive community.

I decided to join the hijra community, and I have been living as a hijra ever since. I have faced many challenges in my life, but I have also found love, acceptance, and community. I am proud to be a hijra, and I am proud to share my story with the world.
