We interpret simple everyday objects with simplicity..

[Renuka Chowdhury @RenukaCCongress]

Yesterday, I was overwhelmed by the support I received for my speech in Parliament. Many of you shared it widely, I had not posted it myself. I am now sharing the full speech again so those who missed it can watch how this government is excluding and targeting some of the most marginalised sections of our society.

The fight will continue. We will not allow the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and transgender persons to be diluted, and we will ensure that their dignity, identity, and constitutional protections remain intact.

This Bill is a double assault on the transgender community’s dignity and rights:

• While every MP in Parliament self declares their gender without scrutiny, transgender citizens are being forced to prove their identity before a medical board and the District Magistrate

• From childhood, we are boxed into blue for boys and pink for girls, but identity is deeply personal and constitutionally protected

• At a time when the LGBTQIA+ community is still fighting for recognition of same sex marriage, this government is taking us backwards by removing even the right to self identification

• No meaningful consultation with the transgender community or stakeholders, despite Supreme Court led processes

• The Bill invades privacy, enables discrimination, and opens the door to criminalisation

This is not reform, this is regression. Not protection, but policing of identity.

As Mahatma Gandhi reminded us, “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.”

The BJP govt hasn’t consulted the trans community & brought a bill which endangers rather than protects them.
The Trinamool Congress unequivocally opposes this Bill.

“We were not consulted. We oppose the Bill”, says National Council for Transgender Persons (NCTP) that is struggling to get a meeting with the Minister of @MSJEGOI Dr Virendra Kumar @Drvirendrakum13 who introduced the Bill #RejectTransBill2026

"The world is discussing about the things India has done for transgender people, even wealthy countries are shocked", claims PM Narendra Modi while pinkwashing Indian government's apathy towards the transgender community.

🧵Social Justice Minister skipped a planned meeting with the National Trans Council today to discuss the Trans Rights Amendment Bill, citing “family emergency”. MoSJE officers told the Council, “we know what to do with the Bill”, when asked why the Council was not consulted.

@BushStruggle @fakeadidaddy Please don’t generalise all Pride walks around India . We at Kolkata Pride had an open banner policy where we consciously allowed everyone to bring their own thoughts ,posters and banners just keeping away any political party banners.
To be included we have to be inclusive also.
