We, the members of the @VBAforIndia express grave concerns and strong opposition to the proposed legislative amendments to the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights), 2019 being sought through the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026.

The proposed amendments restructures the existing law in a manner that weakens legal recognition, restricts access to identity by undermining self-determination, introduces a medicalised framework, infringes upon privacy, and incorporates provisions that further stigmatises and criminalises the transgender community by incorporating social notions and stereotypes.

The proposed amendments, if enacted, will nullify the very limited progress made in transgender rights, welfare, and reverse decades of advocacy for recognition, dignity, self-respect, inclusion, justice and empowerment for the transgender persons.

The members of the VBA call for the withdrawal of the Bill with immediate effect as it is draconian, repressive, unconstitutional, arbitrary, and, most importantly, inhumane.

We emailed our objections to @MSJEGOI and @Drvirendrakum13.

They broke her limbs and threw her to a river so she died. I'm sobbing like a baby. This is why transphobia is so dangerous. If you get to the mental gymastics even begin to justify this please know I have absolutely 0 respect for you and you're beyond rotten inside

Parents opposed her lesbian relationship so she was forced to leave the house and had to stay at hotels with her partner. Unable to sustain the expenses she started robbing. Now arrested by Lucknow Police. No action against parents.

…more. None of it is talked about, there’s never enough data around it, be it in the UK, US or India (India probably has the largest Trans population in the world🏳️‍⚧️)

The horrific things that happen to cis women which is just the tip of the iceberg of what they go through! We rarely hear about incidents transfemmes go through, they are rarely reported and misreported. Contd in the comments.

Hearing about incidents from friends over the years of what trans people have gone through is heart wrenching, sadly it’s never talked about or taken seriously. From Emotional Manipulation, Conversion therapy, Domestic violence, Gang rape, Human trafficking, heinous murders and

Being inclusive, connecting and empowering people is what Pravin does. It was surreal to meet him at UCL earlier this year. I can’t thank him enough for his support and guidance 💜
You should check out @SamataCenter for his and his organisations work. #UCL #rieinlondon #queer

@pravinnikams has been key in my journey from Pune to UCL. He and his organisation Samata Center helped me and many others to access higher education in India and overseas. This is what a true ally and friend looks like.

VIDEO | Here's what Indian athlete Dutee Chand said on Imene Khelif vs Angela Carini controversy.

"In 2014, I challenged the IOC's rule that a person with a higher testosterone level should not participate in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland. It was noted that hormonal level cannot increase athletic performance... I suffered a lot at that time. I faced a lot of controversy regarding my gender. Yesterday, during the Olympic match, (Angela) Carini gave up and now she is complaining about the Algerian boxer because of high testosterone levels. When you play in the Olympics, you undergo several tests. I don't think it is right to create controversy about this social media."

Anyone noticing a common thread amongst the female athletes who have been falsely subjected to Transphobic attacks and allegations?
