Gender Identity | Out Of Syllabus : Chapter II

Out of Syllabus, a special segment on #SonOfAbish, is about trying to find out what we, as adults, need to unlearn. Today's video is all about Gender Identity.

This is a good time to talk about this, as India just passed a draconian Trans Bill 2019 which is being vilified by everyone in the community for having problematic clauses - it robs the trans community of dignity and self-determination, gives a max sentence of two years to people who commit sexual violence against them (cis women get seven) and it doesn't allow for reservations in education, healthcare, employment, sectors where they've faced historic discrimination. This is not okay.
