本文探讨了Hijra社区，试图理解承担Hijra角色意味着什么，并描述了成为Hijra的过程。它是基于对居住在印度德里的海吉拉的民族志研究，并调查了海吉拉作为一个社会团体的诞生。Hijra社区一直处于社会边缘，生活在赤贫之中，被排除在正常化进程之外。作为各种形式的偏见和不容忍的受害者，Hijra社区生活在恐惧和孤立之中，往往生活在秘密的贫民窟中。这些群体所面临的问题尚未得到充分探讨，这主要是由于该社区的隐蔽性。通过解决排斥性做法，本文引出了身份政治和社会差异的再现之间的交叉点，这些差异是由现有的不平等和阶级、性别和性的不平等引发的。
This article explores Hijra communities, attempts to understand what it means to take on the Hijra role, and describes the process involved in becoming a Hijra. It is based on an ethnographic study of the Hijras living in Delhi, India and investigates the birth of a Hijra as a social body. The Hijra community has always been on the fringes of society, dwelling in abject poverty and excluded from the process of normalization. Being victims of various forms of prejudices and intolerance, the Hijra community lives in fear and isolation, often in clandestine, ghettoized locations. The problems confronting these groups of people have not been adequately explored, primarily as a result of the hidden nature of the community. By addressing exclusionary practices, the article draws out intersections between identity politics and the reproduction of social difference triggered by existing inequalities and inequities of class, gender and sexuality.
