A new documentary by Rahemur Rahman and Lily Vetch explores their shifting lives and identities.

In May 2018 a #transgender rights bill passed in #Pakistan, allowing self-reporting of #gender. On #ThisDayInHistory in 2018 the first #TransgenderPride protest was held in #Lahore. Part of the law were overturned in 2023 by religious courts, despite millennia of #hijra identity.

Indian court rules trans women are women A High Court in India has ruled that trans women are women despite what India law may say in a landmark decision for the country.

Quoting a Supreme Court decision from 2014, which legally recognised the rights of “third gender” individuals, Pratapa said that prohibiting trans women’s right to identify as women “amounted to discrimination”.

Offerings of still water.

Nee er zijn niet maar 2 genders!

Gender is geen mening.

Andere genders hebben al helemaal niets met woke te maken.
