SFI Protests in Delhi Demand Withdrawal of Transgender Rights Amendment Bill

Members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) protested in Delhi against the proposed Transgender Persons Amendment Bill, 2026, demanding its withdrawal. They argue the Bill could weaken protections established by the 2014 NALSA Supreme Court judgment by shifting gender identity determination to a government-appointed medical board, undermining self-identification rights. Protesters also raised concerns that the Bill narrows the legal definition of 'transgender person,' potentially excluding various gender-diverse identities. The SFI submitted a memorandum to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment outlining these concerns and calling for wider consultations.
