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

As we stride towards the Trans Day of Visibility, it is precisely our visibility that stands at the stake. We risk criminalisation, enforced binarization, losing our access to healthcare services that keep us alive. Let us survive, persist and live. #RejectTransBill2026

It's called the "Protection of Rights" Bill. It removes trans men from the definition entirely. It erases non-binary people completely. It hands your identity to a medical board. Who exactly is being protected here? @Drvirendrakum13

The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026 doesn't protect anyone. It erases them. Self-identification — upheld by the Supreme Court in NALSA 2014 — is now conditional on medical boards and district magistrates.#RejectTransbill2026 @Drvirendrakum13

This. In complete solidarity ✊🏽🌈
Withdraw the 2026 Trans Amendment Bill. Not revise. Not review. Not send to committee. Withdraw it entirely. Anything less is negotiating with erasure. #WithdrawTransBill2026 #LGBTQIA #TransRightsAreHumanRights

We had our issues with the 2019 Act. The government, through this amendment, only makes it worse. 1. Withdraw the Bill, 2. Remove barriers to healthcare and welfare measures, 3. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US! #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack

Do not bother with "proud to be queer" or putting "🏳️🌈" in your bio if you do not show up for the trans members of our community. #RejectTransBill2026 #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️⚧️

“Even if we do die, we must try to live fully till we do.” Cannot emphasise this enough. This line shook me to the core - we’ve got a long time ahead of us. Let us remember how our previous generations fought and learn from them!
@rihaabdr It's on us to preserve our humanity. Even if we do die, we must try to live fully till we do. This bill will most likely be passed without any changes but the previous generations of trans people have fought against this and so will we. We are not known for giving up!

Look at that cost! The budget allocated for trans welfare is barely even a minuscule percentage of this figure. The ACTUAL expenditure, barely qualifies to be called ‘expenditure’ in relative terms. What misuse are they even speaking of? #RejectTransBill2026
