Would you ever subject cisgender Indians to an invasive medical procedure to determine their gender? No right? Because that's extremely f'ed up. Then you need to #RejectTransBill2026. No going back 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️

The President has signed the Trans Bill into an Act, despite thousands of letters from trans persons requesting not to grant assent to the Bill and instead send it back to the parliament.

Cis people, you may think the trans bill has nothing to do with you. Pls remember the state is trying to control ALL our bodies. Unmarried couples have to register with the Uttarakhand govt. Marriages need parental consent in Gujarat @RejectTransBill

"What about those who have begun transitioning but haven’t yet completed the process? What happens to 35,000 identity certificates already issued?" This bill is a CURSE.

You're telling me that patriarchal, misogynistic, cisgender people get to decide who is "a real transgender" person and that doesn't sound wrong to you? #TransRightsNow @RejectTransBill

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 .

Whoever voted for the Trans Bill should line up now in front of a medical board to check if they are cisgender or not. You're okay scrutinizing trans bodies? Let's scrutinize yours. Come on, let's go.

"They don’t want trans people to live and stand, trans people living dignified lives. Obviously, you know, one or two or three people they select, and they are providing this scheme, that scheme. That’s it. Beyond that, they don’t allow trans people to raise their voice, raise their rights-based demands. That is why these people are not ready to provide reservation rights for trans people."
Aranya, an assistant editor at The Caravan, spoke to Grace Banu, founder and director of Trans Rights Now Collective, about the demand for horizontal reservations and about key issues facing the transgender community in the country. Read the entire interview here: caravanmagazine.in/politics/grace…

Today it's Trans rights and identifying they're after, tomorrow it'd be the bodily autonomy of cis-women.
Stop waiting for the injustices to reach you to raise your voice.

Very bad news. If trans bill becomes a law, trans men, nonbinary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra, will not be legally recognised as trans. Only intersex and kinner-hijra persons will be recognised and that too after medical inspection. Additionally …

This is SHAMEFUL. You deliberately silenced the community and passed this bill. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack #TransRightsAreHumanRights @RejectTransBill

“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

Withdraw the 2026 Trans Amendment Bill.
Not revise. Not review. Not send to committee. Withdraw it entirely. Anything less is negotiating with erasure.

The BJP govt hasn’t consulted the trans community & brought a bill which endangers rather than protects them. The Trinamool Congress unequivocally opposes this Bill.

This govt really said you can't be trans unless you fit our narrow and frankly brahminical definitions of transness
Pink List India@PinkListIndia
Unfortunately, despite the Prime Minister’s commitment to transgender rights, reiterated everywhere from the Red Fort to the G7, there has been no attempt meaningfully engage with the transgender community while drafting legislations supposedly meant to ensure their welfare.

This is a black day for LGBTQ+ rights in India.
The passage of the #TransBill2026 in the Lok Sabha without any concrete responses to several valid concerns raised by Opposition MPs signals the unwillingness of the government to listen to constructive criticism.

Tell me why the whole world is on fire right now, but my government has gone an attacked its own transgender citizens. Does this even make any logical sense? #RejectTransBill2026

I really think it’s unfortunate that they are not sending it to the Standing Committee. What the community feels is that this Bill is going to obliterate their identity, and therefore it was very important that they should have been consulted, and that this Bill being brought forward should have been passed after proper consultation. I think it’s very unfair that the entire community feels they have not been consulted, and that such a big decision is being taken in their context. I wish the government had listened and referred it to the Standing Committee. : Congress General Secretary & MP Smt. @priyankagandhi ji on the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026

“Trans people with disabilities have warned that this bill will push them further to the margins - criminalising family & supporters. Why is the law using penal concern to redraw the idea of gender itself” - Dr T Sumathy, DMK #TakeBackTransBill2026
