The data was gained by identifying parts of text which identify the main character’s characteristics as a transgendered character. The data were later classified based on categorization which relates to the personalities, social relationships with others, and social and self identification as a transgendered character. The study reveals that there are three main portrayals of the main character as a transgendered character. First, the main character is assigned with stereotyped of feminine qualities such a described as weepy, behaving in a tender manner, and being sensitive and emotional, Second, the main character is portrayed as attravted to the same sex and a cross-dresser. Third, the main character has problematic social relationships which involve relationship with parents, boy and girl friends, children, and other transgenderes character. These [ortrayal carries several possible meaning: (1) gender is a performative act which means that gender is determined by what gender the person decided to act on, (2) sex is given and gender is a social construction, (3) performative acts or person’s decision to perform what he wanst determine person’s identity, (4) the transgendered phenomenon happens across cultures and social classes, (5) becoming a transgendered person does not relate to one’s childhood background, (6) text can accommodate anything, including transgenderis,. Therefore, through these meanings the book has presented a different perspective on this phenomenon and posed question on the stance that readers might need to take in facing this kind or problematic issue in their daily life.
