Abstract

The journey from ‘no’ law to have ‘special’ law viz. Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 recognizing the existence of transgender persons as human beings and conferring them legal rights has been full of challenges and obstacles. The manner in which the law was enacted so hastily without considering the concerns raised by activists opens up the debate if the rights conferred under the Act are adequate enough ensuring transgender persons to live their life with respect and dignity at par with cisgender.. With this question in mind, the authors analyses the gaps and challenges in legal rights guaranteed to binary genders but neither denied nor conferred to transgender persons such as right of inheritance, right to marriage, right to adoption etc. under the Act,2019.
