Trans poetry is a type of transgender literature which explores the individuality, gender identity, and accounts of life experiences by transgender poets. Some aspects of trans poetry fall under the umbrella of protest literature and speak to the hegemonic worldview, presenting the agenda of injustice subjected by the oppressed. Other examples of trans poetry analyze the adversities endured by binary trans-women and men.[citation needed] The categories listed explore the contributions of notable trans-poets such as Lee Mokobe, author of "What it Feels Like to be a Transgender", Ely Shipley, author of "Boy with Flowers" and Shilok Mukkati, author of "Kinnaras of the Dark World".
