Fourth day since #ElectionResults2019 in India. One Muslim couple thrashed in MP. One Tribal professor arrested in Jharkhand. One Dalit doctor commits suicide in Maharashtra. An inclusive #NewIndia. Is it?

“I am going to get personal if you muzzle my voice...because this is a struggle that is very personal,” @priyaramani’s lawyer, Senior Advocate Rebecca, was a force to reckon with in the courtroom today.

The former employee describes two incidents of molestation by Gogoi in her affidavit, both of which allegedly took place in October 2018, only days after he was appointed to India’s highest judicial office.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

For the CJI to react to a sexual harassment complaint by convening a special bench on the spot, terming it an high-level conspiracy against the judiciary, and where the AG and the SG gather and then character-assassinate the accuser, is not a good look, and it's not due process.

[#MeTooIndia @IndiaMeToo]

The Bill describes the ‘family’ as: ‘a group of people related by blood or marriage or by adoption made in accordance with law". It does not recognize the Hijra family,a long established living tradition of our country.When our "natal families" are violent where do we go?

[Meera Sanghamitra @meeracomposes]

Swarmed by police, transgender persons stormed the streets of Hyderabad yet again today sloganeering:
"Hyderabadi Biryani Acha Hai !
Modi Sarkar Luchha Hai" !
@RajyaSabha must send the extremely problematic Trans Bill to the Select Committee.
#StopTransBill2018 @SampoornaIndia

[Sampoorna @SampoornaIndia]

URGENT

The trans bill is listed for Jan 8th in rajya sabha for passing. Everyone please amplify protests, tweets tagging opposition ministers, press coverage of our opposition etc. it's our last chance.

[No Comprende (Now @bhanujkappal.com on BlueSky) @StonerJesus]

How stupid do you have to be to record a sexual encounter without the other person's consent because you're worried about being falsely accused of violating consent?

[No Comprende (Now @bhanujkappal.com on BlueSky) @StonerJesus]

This is ridiculous. Deepak Peace's track 'Hey Mr. Prime Minister' gets taken off @JioSaavn because some bhakt got angry and complained. What is this cowardly 'crawling before you're even asked to kneel' censorship? At least wait till Amit Shah calls you.

[Sampoorna @SampoornaIndia]

Frankly, we don't see much right with the bill. Trans communities from across India have been asking for a rights-based bill but this one seems to default to old tropes about trans persons.

[Sandhya Visvanathan @pardafashsv]

#StopTransBill2018 A really terrible and discriminatory bill. Just so problematic and insensitive - and tone deaf.
