Beyond Binary and Trauma: The Transformative Role of Language
Ms. Sruthi Mohan

Abstract
This paper attempts to erase the conventional dichotomy with regard to gender. Language is assumed to be the mightiest weapon that has the ability to bring about remarkable transformation that is required for the amelioration of the society. If so, language can act as an agency to blur the stereotypical need to conform to the dual accepted genders. The paper throws light on the need to include and accept the existence of other genders which are considered to be marginal and uncommon. When language becomes a neutralizing entity, the question of gender shall prevail over the parochialism of binaries. Moreover, this paper offers a foray into the perspectives of gender and how language operates as a transcending force.
