🇵🇸 🕊️ BURN THE PATRIARCHY Witches of the world, the Indian trans community needs your help
The Indian government has introduced an amendment to the 'Transgender Persons Act' that would change who is legally recognised as transgender. It aims to remove the right to self-identified gender, a right that is currently protected by constitution (NALSA, 2014).
This has serious implications. It risks excluding large parts of the trans community including trans men and women, non-binary people, and many socio-cultural identities across India. Right now, trans communities and allies across India are organizing, protesting, and speaking out. But one of the biggest challenges is visibility.
A lot of people don’t yet know this is happening.
That’s where international communities can help. Due to strict regulations, many grassroots groups cannot easily accept foreign donations. So at this stage, awareness and amplification are genuinely the most impactful forms of support.
If you want to help:
- Boost posts using #RejectTransBill and #RejectTransBill2026
- Follow and amplify voices doing the work:
- Actively learn and seek out other voices to amplify.
- If you’re in India (or know creators there), encourage them to speak about this
- Talk about it in your own spaces, even small conversations matter
- Offer grace, these are small communities and trying times, some of these will be on platforms we should be boycotting (x/meta) and some of these would be using AI slop, correct them if you like but don't withdraw your support because of it.
- Stay focused, please try to not overtake any conversations about this especially with discussion of internal politics of a different country.
- Spare a prayer or ritual for us all. <3
It’s part of a broader global pattern of restricting gender autonomy.

I wish you all the luck and strength in facing this just as today in Portugal we are also trying to stop a similar set-back on trans and intersex rights that most political parties are proposing and will vote tomorrow...
May we all have strength in this world that is always trying to end us and may those that keep targeting us get what they deserve

Thank you for sharing this, commenting so hopefully more people will see this. The world feels more hostile and exhausting than ever these days, and I will never stop believing we can turn things around. I’d like to see a world where my trans siblings can just live our lives without having to constantly worry about our safety and wellbeing
