Persona Individual Task | The Transgender Persons (Protection Of Rights) Bill, 2019
India is a nation of mega-diversity with people coming from innumerable cultures and backgrounds. That makes the scrupulous work of legislation even more difficult, especially when it comes to catering to the needs of marginalized communities. Unfortunately, the recent Transgender Protection Bill falls into the set of acts and bills where lawmakers have failed to understand the needs of the majorly oppressed community and instead have repressed them further.

Transgender Protection Bill 2019
The Transgender Persons' (Protection of Rights) Bill 2019 was passed in the Lok Sabha in August, 2019, supposedly to provide welfare measures and guarantee rights to transgender people. But the trans community in India has strongly opposed this bill. Tell us why this bill does not actually 'protect' the community.

Long Road Ahead Of LGBTQ Community
India recently saw a victory of law and love. The five bench Supreme Court unanimously passed an order on IPC Section 377, making the country really free for everyone – including LGBTQ for the first time since 1861. The issue of Section 377 was first raised by NGO Naaz Foundation, which had in 2001 approached the Delhi High Court which had decriminalised sex between consenting adults of the same gender by holding the penal provision as "illegal". Moral policing often does not have a relationship with what law says or what the reality is. Changing such thought processes is an uphill task and can be achieved if it is tackled on some fronts: increase solidarity and educate masses. India is a vast and diverse country and attitudes towards this subject and experiences of LGBTI individuals vary vastly. The disparity between urban and rural India, language, caste, class and gender add further complexities to understanding this topic more fully.
