Transgressionary state: Transgender Amendment Act is a step back on freedom, democracy and growth

India's Transgender Act faces criticism for undermining individual rights and autonomy. This law's restrictions on self-determination and the imposition of medical scrutiny are seen as detrimental to economic growth. Experts argue that curtailing freedoms, even for a minority, harms national development. The Act is viewed as a step backward for freedom, democracy, and progress in India.
