क्या ट्रांसजेंडर पहचान अब सरकार तय करेगी या व्यक्ति खुद ?

In this ground report, we bring you the reality behind the newly introduced Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, which was presented in the Lok Sabha on March 13. The proposed amendment has sparked a nationwide debate, especially within the transgender community, as it seeks to redefine the legal meaning of “transgender” and removes recognition of gender self-identification. The government argues that the amendment is necessary due to challenges faced in implementing the 2019 law. According to officials, redefining eligibility will ensure that the benefits of the law reach only those who genuinely need protection. However, this move has raised serious concerns among activists and members of the community, who see it as a step backward. The 2019 Act had recognized a broad spectrum of identities, including transgender men and women, genderqueer individuals, intersex persons, and socio-cultural identities such as kinnar, hijra, aravani, and jogta. It also acknowledged the right to self-identify one's gender, although it required certification from a district magistrate—something that was already criticized as being against the spirit of the NALSA judgment. Through this on-ground report, our reporter Geetanjali speaks directly with members of the transgender community to understand how this amendment could impact their lives, identity, and rights. This video captures voices, concerns, and perspectives that are often ignored in mainstream debates.
