The Third Gender and Constitution of India
Play • 10 min
Who decides your gender? Your body or your mind? Or the state? This episode follows the NALSA judgment 2014 which recognized the third gender and more importantly affirmed the right to self-affirm one’s gender. But what did the government do? We track the success of Tiruchi Shiva’s bill to protect the rights of transgenders and the disappointment with the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 and look at the road ahead.
