Brahmanical #patriarchy continues to be one of the most misunderstood terms of our times. People often argue as to why we must call for 'Smashing Brahmanical Patriarchy' and not just 'Smashing Patriarchy'. #FIIExplains

Here's why we need to #StopTransBill2019 :
1. The bill requires trans people to be 'certified' by the district magistrate to have their identity recognised. Moreover, if a person is to change their preferred gender to male or female, they would need to show proof of SRS. 2. The bill groups intersex people under the definition of transgender, despite the distinction in identity & experiences between the two, thereby conflating sex and gender. This is horrifying misrepresentation but also an invisibilisation of intersex persons & their concerns.
