	abstract = {Being a transgender is not easy even in the modern or postmodern eras as it is represented in Meredith Russo’s novel entitled If I Was Your Girl. Since transgender often face unbelievable obstacles in their life, they have to find ways to survive. This paper will focus on the coping strategies done by the transgender character to have a new life. This study offers a different perspective on the complicated existence of transgender. The analysis is supported by the concepts on transgender and coping strategies. The methods applied are library research method, close reading technique, qualitative research method, and contextual research method. The result shows that personal choices of coping strategies are needed in order to survive as a transgender. The existence of transgender is considered not only complicated but also controversial, thus it is a source of inexhaustible studies to be pursued by many researchers.},
