A heated debate unfolds as the Transgender Bill passes in Lok Sabha, sparking strong reactions from panellists. Dr Raksha Shaikh, trans woman doctor and professor, expressed feeling alienated, stating ‘I’m no longer an equal recognised citizen of this country.’ She criticised the bill’s requirement for medical board certification, arguing that gender cannot be scientifically tested as ‘there is no medical test or diagnostic method by which you can say that someone is a transgender person.’ Anish Gawande, NCP spokesperson, condemned the bill as illegal and unconstitutional, questioning why the government is ‘hell-bent on seeing what’s between somebody’s pants’ during a time of global crisis. Avni Bansal, Congress national spokesperson, warned of dangerous precedents, arguing the government is overreaching into personal identity. Rahul Eswar, social activist, defended the need for standardisation to prevent misuse of welfare measures, advocating for a formalised process over pure self-identification.
