I request all Indians to please, please submit this attached form. As progressive and empathetic citizens to whom fundamental human rights matter - it is our moral and ethical duty to firmly condemn and oppose the new Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026. Do take a moment to read the form, but the gist of the matter is - the Indian government is changing the definition of what "transgender" means in Indian law, in a way that explicitly, specifically dismisses individuals with "self-perceived" gender identities from any kind of legal protection. There are several more extremely harmful layers to the definition change that make this already insidious bill even more malicious, all of which has been elaborated upon in the write-up. Please, please fill the form, it comes from a legitimate source and can be submitted completely anonymously. If you are not from India, please reblog this to make sure it reaches as many Indian citizens as possible. Please guys, we can't let this happen to our country! We can't let the identities of our fellow Indians get illegitimised!

Hey so. Can we all take a moment to fucking acknowledge and do something about the fact that India is currently proposing a bill in parliament that would abrogate the previous landmark decision made in 2019 that gave trans people the right to self identify as their gender? That we’re going to need approval from a medical board headed by a chief medical officer who will then report to a fucking district magistrate who will THEN MAKE THE DECISION TO ISSUE US A FUCKING CERTIFICATE WE NEED BEFORE WE CAN IDENTIFY AS TRANS???
