The President has signed the Trans Bill into an Act, despite thousands of letters from trans persons requesting not to grant assent to the Bill and instead send it back to the parliament.

“Trans people with disabilities have warned that this bill will push them further to the margins - criminalising family & supporters. Why is the law using penal concern to redraw the idea of gender itself” - Dr T Sumathy, DMK #TakeBackTransBill2026

I really think it’s unfortunate that they are not sending it to the Standing Committee. What the community feels is that this Bill is going to obliterate their identity, and therefore it was very important that they should have been consulted, and that this Bill being brought forward should have been passed after proper consultation.

I think it’s very unfair that the entire community feels they have not been consulted, and that such a big decision is being taken in their context. I wish the government had listened and referred it to the Standing Committee.

Gender non-conforming individuals already face deep-rooted oppression. Instead of addressing this injustice, the Modi government’s regressive Transgender Bill deepens it - by subjecting their bodies and lived experiences to invasive scrutiny.

By fixating on identity validation, this law reveals its true intent: the state’s urge to control and regulate marginalised lives.

This is yet another attempt by the government to target and penalise those who dare to be different.

And it stands in direct contradiction to India’s long-standing tradition of tolerance and dignity for all.

[Congress @INCIndia]

A delegation of transgender activists from across India met LoP Shri @RahulGandhi, in the presence of Congress General Secretary & MP Smt. @priyankagandhi ji and senior leaders.

The delegation expressed strong opposition to the government’s proposed Transgender Persons Bill, stating that it undermines their right to self-identify their gender, a right upheld by the Supreme Court. They highlighted that the Bill could strip lakhs of transgender individuals, including those from historically recognized communities, of legal recognition and protection.

They also raised concerns over provisions they described as dehumanizing and punitive, including mandatory medical examinations, criminal penalties without adequate safeguards, and the dilution of existing protections.

Rahul ji assured the delegation that the Congress party stands firmly with the rights and dignity of transgender persons and will oppose the Bill in Parliament.

In the last few days, office bearers and members of the AIPC LGBTQIA+ Domain across the country have mobilised both on the streets and in policy spaces, protesting and actively lobbying MPs as the Lok Sabha takes up the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill 2026.

This Bill seeks to take away the right to self-identification, replacing dignity with surveillance, medical gatekeeping, and bureaucratic control, apply discriminatory rules, effectively deciding who gets recognised and who is excluded.

We will not accept laws that erase any community. Stand with trans lives.

ट्रान्सजेंडर व्यक्तींच्या अधिकारांवर गदा आणणाऱ्या ‘तृतीयपंथीय व्यक्ती (हक्कांचे संरक्षण) दुरुस्ती विधेयक २०२६’ (Transgender Persons Amendment Bill 2026) चा 'राष्ट्रवादी काँग्रेस पार्टी शरदचंद्र पवार' पक्षाचं LGBTQ+ सेल तीव्र शब्दात निषेध करतं.

हे विधेयक सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाच्या NALSA (2014) निर्णयाच्या भावनेला विरोध करणारं असून ट्रान्सजेंडर समुदायाच्या सन्मान, अस्तित्व आणि संविधानिक अधिकारांवर थेट आघात आहे. विधेयकाची ट्रान्सजेंडर समुदायाच्या कोणत्याही घटकाला विश्वासात घेतले गेले नाही. राष्ट्रीय ट्रान्सजेंडर परिषदच्या अपयशाचाही आम्ही निषेध करतो आणि सर्व सदस्यांनी नैतिक जबाबदारी स्वीकारत तात्काळ राजीनामा द्यावा, अशी पक्षाच्या LGBTQ+ सेल आग्रही मागणी आहे. हे विधेयक मागे घ्यावे आणि भविष्यात LGBTQ+ समुदायाच्या घटनात्मक अधिकारांसाठीची आमची लढाई कायम राहील. अशा आशयाचं विधेयकाचं निषेध करणारं अधिकृत प्रसिद्धीपत्रक पक्षाच्या LGBTQ+ सेलच्या पदाधिकाऱ्यांनी पक्षाच्या राष्ट्रीय कार्याध्यक्ष, महासंसदरत्न खासदार सन्मा. सुप्रियाताई सुळे ह्यांच्याकडे सुपूर्द केले.

ह्याप्रसंगी LGBTQ+ सेलच्या महाराष्ट्र राज्यप्रमुख प्रिया पाटील, राष्ट्रीय प्रवक्ते अनिश गवांदे व LGBTQ+ समुदायातील टॅन, रुद्राणी आणि आदित्य हे प्रतिनिधीही उपस्थित होते.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

The BJP government’s Transgender Persons Amendment Bill is a brazen attack on the Constitutional rights and identity of transgender people.

This regressive bill:
- strips transgender people of their ability to self identify, violating a Supreme Court judgement
- ⁠wipes out the diverse cultural identities of communities across India
- ⁠forces trans people to undergo dehumanizing examinations by a medical board
- ⁠introduces criminal penalties and surveillance without safeguards

The BJP government hasn’t consulted the trans community and brought a bill which stigmatises rather than protects them.

The Constitution protects every Indian’s right to life, liberty, identity, and dignity. This BJP government is violating our Constitution and destroying India’s rich history of honouring transgender communities in pursuit of its narrow ideas.

The Congress Party unequivocally opposes this Bill.
