Abstract Binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture and language. Derrida rejects this binary opposition on grounds that such oppositions always privilege one term over the other.
Our society has binary opposition system of central and peripheral social groups. But there are other different social elements in between belonging to different social groups. In case of transgenders, they belong to the peripheral or the subaltern group having inferior social status. The dominant upper-class celebrity culture occupies the central place enjoying the higher status. In between these central and peripheral elements there exist many other elements consisting people from other social groups or status.
Laxmi Narayan Thripati is a trangender rights activist. She moves into celebrity circle. On one hand she is a subaltern, on the other hand she is a celebrity. This paper tries to explore how some elements of higher celebrity social culture accommodate and support the marginalized transgenders provided the subaltern also is in higher social group. The paper also tries to find out the reactions of the celebrity circle to other transgenders and the reactions of different social groups towards the transgenders.
