Transgender Persons Amendment Bill 2026 Passed In LS Amid Protests The Lok Sabha passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill 2026 by voice vote. The Bill seeks to remove the right to self-perceived gender identity and restricts the definition of transgender persons to biological, physiological or socio-cultural categories. Opposition parties including INC, DMK, NCP, Shiv Sena (UBT), RJD, SP, and AITC opposed the move, arguing it violates the right to dignity established in the NALSA v. Union of India. The BJP and its allies supported the Bill, citing concerns over potential misuse of self-identification for reservations and other benefits.
