A new Bill introduced in Parliament has reignited debate over #transgender rights by proposing to remove the principle of self-identification, a cornerstone of the Supreme Court’s landmark National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India ruling.
The amendment seeks stricter criteria for legal gender recognition, potentially requiring external certification instead of self-declaration. Critics argue the move undermines #constitutional rights and autonomy affirmed in 2014, while the government says it aims to bring clarity to definitions.
The proposed changes have sparked concern among activists, who see it as a rollback of hard-won protections for the transgender community.

Protests erupted across #India after the Centre introduced the #Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, with activists and members of the trans community demanding its withdrawal, alleging it undermines the right to self-identify #gender and violates the spirit of the landmark #NALSA vs Union of India ruling.
Demonstrations were reported in multiple cities as critics argued the Bill narrows the definition of #transgender persons and introduces medical scrutiny, raising concerns over dignity, #privacy, and constitutional rights.
