Trans-Recognition: A Growing Venture on the World Stage and Pakistan
Abstract
This paper explores the historical, social, political and cultural circumstances within which sexed and gendered identities are formulated and designated. It also explores the space between conventionally stereotyped gender identities and the fluid and anomalous social dynamics. Although, much has been written on what sex, sexuality and gender are, and what they are not. The importance of the heterosexual matrix as the source of sexual designations and gender conventionalization is underplayed on the world social stage generally and the political stage in specific. This paper is an attempt at trying to understand how transgender identities are created and are embodied in the socio-historical context. In doing so one should tried to reassess the contemporary treatment of genders and to what extent they can be justified generally on the whole and in the Pakistani context in specific.
