1. Abstract
This paper is predicated upon a grounded theory analysis of the The Transgender (protection of rights)Act 2019.During a 2014 judgment, the Supreme Court of India affirmed the right of each Indian citizen to settle on their identity irrespective of gender affirmation surgery. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill 2019 was passed in the rajya sabha on 26th of November, 2019 and signed into a law by the president of India. This was contended to be the one law that might safeguard transgender individuals from any sort of discrimination which is being referred as murder of gender justice by the trans community itself.Transgender people say certain provisions within the law are unconstitutional, including the formation of district-level, five-member screening committees to certify the gender of a transgender person — a provision that apparently runs against the Supreme Court’s 2014 judgement that granted the freedom to self-recognition of gender to transgender individuals. This paper examines this act in conjunction with the Supreme Court verdict to study how law discursively produces the transgender citizen and the way India’s transgender communities are reacting to such constructions. A discourse analysis of the legal and popular representations of transgender individuals alongside reactions from India’s transgender communities towards law allows me to look at the varied contestations of transgender act 2019 in India..
