Transgender Persons Act: What is the PIL challenging the law’s impact on women’s rights about?
An Indian public interest litigation questions whether the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, and its 2020 rules, undermine women’s rights. The petition notes the 2019 Act and subsequent rules recognised self‑identified gender, while a 2026 amendment altered provisions concerning single‑sex spaces. It argues the amendment conflicts with the Supreme Court’s NALSA judgment, which affirmed transgender rights without compromising women’s protections.
