Thank you, @DrShashiPanja mam for taking instant action against this inhuman incident. And thank you Sappho For Equality (NGO) and Kolika Mitra (Member of West Bengal Transgender Development Board) for always being there for us against #queerphobia and #transphobia.

In Rajkot, Piyush killed his wife, Nisha, a transgender woman. Godi media @IndiaToday @ndtv @News18India is falsely reporting that Nisha was a “man pretending to be a woman” and was therefore killed. Such reporting violated NBDSA Guidelines on reporting about LGBTQIA+ people.

“Even a person who is being hanged, is asked what their last wish is? Then why are we not asked about our wishes while creating this (Trans) Bill? Who will listen to our Mann ki Baat?” - BJD MP @SulataDeoMP from Odisha

[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.

“I challenge you, not even 5 MPs here would be able to explain what LGBTQIA+ means. Why should people without this knowledge be allowed to make this Bill? This Bill must be sent to a select committee.” - Rajya Sabha MP from INC Telangana @RenukaCCongress

The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, has been passed by the Rajya Sabha. I calling it a "dark day for democracy" as the bill removes the right to self-identification of gender, introduces a medical board to verify transgender identity, and excludes several socio-cultural identities .

#DarkdayofDemocracy

Only Hizra, Kinner like these other socio cultural communities are not Transgender. Not all intersex people are transgender.
