Gender identity is a matter of right: Raj HC on Transgender Bill

The Rajasthan High Court raised concerns over the Transgender Persons Amendment Bill, 2026, warning it may remove the right to self-perceived gender identity. The court said, "Selfhood isn't a matter of concession, but a matter of right." The remarks came while hearing a 2023 petition challenging the Centre's move to place transgender persons in the OBC category without effective reservation.
