For years, transgender individuals have struggled for acceptance, protection, and visibility, even among other minorities. With the list of states legalising gay marriage growing and broad acceptance in 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 society to emphasise and acknowledge transgender people. Through the medium of poetry. Poems based on the different emotions of a transgender person are 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 to the same with the best of my abilities as a visual communicator in a meaningful way. I have tried to understand the existing attitudes and emotions of transgender people and society and to weave together a series of poems as a 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, which is very much a part of Indian past, present, and future.
