This article designs an anthropological and linguistic theoretical framework to understand trans women’s issues in Nevada. This research examines the huge pressure of gender performance and cultural, linguistic and social issues that are part of trans women’s lives. This interlinked relation creates a knowledge gap in understanding contemporary society and gender-related linguistic and cultural challenges. However, a representation of trans women’s issues is significant to understand through the analysis of an American novel Nevada. A discussion on “gender and brain sex” and “a trans woman writer’s response to counter-narratives” create a trans discourse. It fascinates us to study and analyze a trans discourse to know American trans women’s day-to-day life struggles. A significant of this work, a trans-counter-narrative story attracts world researchers to analyze and criticize cultural, linguistic (pronouns), and social issues. To put it in a nutshell, American trans women’s political subjugation is represented through Maria’s character where the world’s trans women’s issues can be understood
