The Bill, goes against the fundamental ruling of the Supreme Court in the NALSA judgement - of the right to self determination of gender identity.
The Transgender Bill, was one of the controversial bills introduced in the parliament last year When a bill involves a particularly vulnerable section of the society it draws attention towards intimate subjects and widespread communities that look forward towards protection from the government itself .
The Bill, goes against the fundamental ruling of the Supreme Court in the NALSA judgement – of the right to self determination of gender identity.
The lack of consideration of the bill makers for the community during the drafting stage lead the problem of defining the gender leading to chaos amongst the section itself. It also denied giving protection against rape or sexual assault.
Problematic aspects of the bill are further driven by an attitude of ‘Force of the State‘.
As, the communities are not free from state interference their autonomy has been extended to state control and domination leading to widespread protests.
It has become mandatory for the Government after these elections to draft schemes in such a way that the voices of those directly impacted by the change should be heard in good faith and which is basic to the constitutional principles and values which are therefore to be respected.
However, its necessary to maintain momentum concerning these public issues to make our voice heard in the ‘House of Commons‘.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
