Effectively, the bill restricts the recognition and protection of dignified existence as a trans individual. But it doesn't end there, through the amendments to section 18, it enables criminalization of trans affirmative support networks. Essentially, it's an existential threat to trans people.
In other words, I no longer have the legal right to say "hey, I'm a non-binary person and my pronouns are they/them". If someone harasses me or discriminates against me because of my gender expression or identity, I no longer have any legal protection.
Section 4 (2) of the 2019 established the right to recognition of "self perceived gender identity" for all trans people ie people whose gender does not match gender assigned at birth. The 2026 amendment OMITS Section 4 (2). Meaning, one can no longer demand their gender identity to be recognized.
a bit about the recent anti-trans bill passed in both the houses of Indian parliament:
this bill is an amendment to the 2019 Transgender People (Protection of Rights) Act of 2019 which - though not free of flaws - was a great leap for trans rights in India, and was a result of years of activism.

two more from things I made during breaks yesterday

I've taken to making quick collages in my breaks these days. This one is today's
Not like i'm counting but it has been 6,25,400 minutes since i kissed the moth on your forearm. i still feel it on my lips. i wonder if every person who kisses me now, feels it too. i don't vant them to to. it is mine, mine, mine. all mine to keep 17600 minutes before you kissed my lips, i was falling apatt in a libraty. Somehow - i think i collected myself hen only so i'd be be able to kiss you 17600 minutes later. it has been 86400 minutes since i last texted you 36,400 minutes from from now, - when i'm still fceling you all over me, i will take someone else's hand, and try to keep your touch selfishly to myself. In my generosity i want them to feel that ecstasy too. but i'm a glutton. i'm a thief. and i cannot help but keep all yout love within me locked up. never letting anyone else as much as touch it.
An old poem by yours truely
chappell roan kneels on the stage during a performance. Her face is overcome by emotions. Her eyes are closed and clad with sparkly blue eyeshadow. She is wearing a black choker with red tassels. She holds the microphone in her left hand and her her right hands runs through her beautiful reddish brown curls. She is wearing a red bodysuit with tassels and fishnet stockings. The right stocking has an artistically placed hole at the thigh. In the background the guitarist and the bassist are visible.
