Well written and vivid, however I found it had a restricted range of emotion that made the tone repetitive. I'd love to read an account by someone from within the Hijra community. As an abuse survivor, I know that in the worst circumstances, people can still carve out places for fun, pleasure, camaraderie, even if it's illusory for the most part. I found that missing here, as if inner torment is all there is. But maybe so--that's why I'd like to hear from someone within the community.
