Abstract

INDIA’S CONSTITUTIONAL engage­ment with gender iden­tity reached a trans­form­at­ive moment in NALSA (2014). In the judg­ment, the Supreme Court recog­nised the right of trans­gender per­sons to determ­ine their gender iden­tity as an intrinsic aspect of dig­nity, autonomy, and equal­ity. The Trans­gender Per­sons (Pro­tec­tion of Rights) Amend­ment Bill, 2026, raises ser­i­ous ques­tions by fun­da­ment­ally restruc­tur­ing the stat­utory defin­i­tion of “trans­gender per­son”.
