as of today, trans women, trans men, non-binary, and self-identified genders are officially de-recognised and supporting establishments criminalised in India.

India contains the largest LGBTQ+ community on the planet. Hundreds of millions of queer people have lost the right to existence in just 48 hours.

This happened despite the majority religion (Hinduism) supporting Queer people. This happened despite acceptance and regular pride parades in India's cities.

If it happened in India, it will happen to your country. Do not turn a blind eye to the politics in your own nation. If you do not violently remove fascism or ethno-nationalism from your country, they'll pick you off one by one.

if you have twitter and live outside of India, definitely do not tag @/BJP4India and flood their twitter with demands for a repeal. That could cause international pressure on the government to reconsider its decisions, which I totally cannot endorse at all.

Spread the news around, let there be an international outcry. Stand in support of the millions of lives needlessly ruined in India.
