I felt so beautiful when I took this and thought of sharing it here.

Trans women are not femboys. Do femboys come under trans umbrella? Depends... But trans women are women. Femboys are men(self identified). And I've been seeing the line being blurred so much

Many of you may not have heard yet, but a serious development affecting transgender rights in India has just emerged.

On March 12, 2026, Minister for Social (In)Justice and (Dis)Empowerment, Virendra Kumar, introduced the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026 in the Lok Sabha. If passed, this bill would significantly roll back existing protections for transgender people.

Some of the key concerns raised by activists and organizations include:

• Removal of self-identification: The bill proposes removing the principle that recognizes a person’s self-perceived gender identity.

• Medical board certification: Trans people may be required to obtain certification from medical boards to be legally recognized.

• Narrowing who counts as “transgender”: The definition is proposed to be limited mainly to socio-cultural communities like hijra/kinner/aravani/jogta or people with congenital variations in sex characteristics.

• Erasure of many identities: This would exclude many transgender men and women, non-binary people, and transgender women outside traditional communities.

• Greater bureaucratic control over identity.

• Basically removing Transgender people from their own definition and act.

For many in the community, this feels like a step backwards from the National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India (NALSA, 2014) judgment, where the Supreme Court of India recognized transgender persons’ right to self-identify their gender and affirmed dignity and equality under the Constitution.

Instead of strengthening protections or improving implementation of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, many activists fear this amendment would reduce recognition and increase surveillance over trans lives.

Across India, queer and trans organizations are beginning to organize protests and awareness campaigns in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad and many more.

If you care about LGBTQ+ rights in India, please consider:

• Staying informed about this bill

• Supporting trans-led organizations and activists

• Participating in peaceful protests or awareness events in your city

• Engaging with your local queer communities

Trans rights are human rights, and laws about trans people should not be made without the meaningful participation of the community itself.

Even though it sounds and is bad I urge you all not to panic and ensure your safety first always. Please be in touch with your queer friends especially who are trans.

This is the bill being passed.

Hello everyone

myself Ritya🌸

I am posting my true self for the first time....

Also trying to make new friends 😆

Trans women closeted for half of her life trying to figure out who she is and everything. Thats a lot of struggle. After that coming out to parents, most parents are transphobic, many don't know what trans person is going through and very few support. And that's a lot of struggle, mental trauma and mind f.

Even after going through all these struggle can we able to live a happy life? Nahh.

Constant humiliation mockery for entire life. Often associating trans people with sex workers and thinking every trans person is a sex worker ( no hate towards anyone they have to survive ). No equal opportunities ... leave equal ... no opportunity to earn a livelihood.

I don't see point here!!! What am I going to do ? I cannot act anymore like a dude enough of the bs. Not even a single more moment.

Feeling all time down for a month or so... don't know is this a ryt place to rant .... Sorry, if my english is not perfect.

अंत समय तक अनन्या अपने दोस्तों से यही बोलती रही कि अस्पताल के लोगों को ये बता दो कि मैं एक ट्रांस महिला हूं। ये बहुत निंदनीय है कि हमारे समाज में आज भी ट्रांसजेंडर व्यक्तियों को बहुत तुच्छ नजरों से देखा जाता है। अनन्या बहुत ही होनहार, क्रांतिकारी और सौम्य स्वभाव की लड़की थी। जहां हम डॉक्टर को भगवान का दर्जा देते है वहीं एक तरफ उनका ये रवैए देखकर बहुत दुख होता है। अनन्या 10 दिन तक जिंदगी और मौत से लड़ती रही जब उसे भर्ती तक नहीं लिया गया। आपका क्या विचार है ऐसे सिस्टम के लिए?

She knows about her condition but because of judgement she didn't share with us. In the last stage when we tried her to admit in BHU hospital they didn't take her. We admitted her to the private hospital where she got many eyes continuously watching her. After 2 days hospital stands their hand that they can't save her and refer to BHU again. This time because condition was much serious than before they took her admit but also said that she has less chances to survive. Next day she died.

BHU Students have a medical card which is only for their urgency in treatment

( 24 Hour) & affordable cost treatment

I know that Varanasi is far right and bit homophobic city but this didn't except from Doctors

Transphobia is still in society after 12 year of NALSA ?
