Transgender community protests: Jamshedpur transgender activists oppose new amendment law; Claim it undermines self-identification rights
In Jamshedpur, transgender activists rallied against the newly enacted Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act 2026, contending that its requirement for medical validation of gender identity infringes on personal autonomy. They argue this move starkly opposes the Supreme Court's NALSA ruling and flouts international human rights principles, which could jeopardize access to essential welfare programs for the transgender community.
