By examining both historical contexts and specific media representations, it demonstrates how trans men's experiences challenge the conventional association between masculinity and power, calling for more inclusive media portrayals. Psychotherapists and transgender studies researchers assert that gender is both distinctive and biological in origin while advocating for gender transitions to be supported through social change and queer perspectives. Despite increasing media exposure, many remain unfamiliar with transgender issues, leading to persistent misrepresentations. Trans men, unlike male-to-female transgender individuals, face unique stigma and often remain invisible in media narratives and public discourse. This paper utilises secondary data, textual analysis, and media analysis to examine the evolution of trans men in India and the media's role in shaping societal perceptions of trans-masculinity. It emphasises the need for improved media representation to enhance the visibility of trans men and to foster greater societal support and understanding within the broader transgender movement in India. 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.
