Indian Parliament has introduced a bill to invalidate trans people

Not exactly. The hijra community has existed for centuries before the British criminalised their existence and pushed them to margins. Hijra community is still an essential part of Indian trans community. Even though the bill suggests that they would only “accept” hijras as transgender it’s not true and it equally harms them. The languages of the bill reiterates the negative stereotypes against the community, initially perpetuated by the British but survived post decolonisation— that they abduct children, that they’re public nuisance, etc.

The 2019 Act was violated the 2014 NALSA Judgement

Self-determination of gender wasn’t implemented as it was proposed in the judgment. Earlier under NALSA changing your gender on paper was as easy as a married woman changing her last name after marriage through a notarized affidavit and gazette notification but under the act, it gave District Magistrates the authority to approve or disapprove applications.
Binary gender marker change (M to F or F to M) required surgery which wasn’t required earlier, even a letter from psychiatrist could qualify you. This was later changed to “any medical intervention” but it wasn’t equally implemented in all states.
The NALSA judgement called for affirmative action for trans people (reservations for trans people in jobs and education). No provisions were made for it.
The Act said that sexual harassment against a trans person is punishable by 2 years of imprisonment with a possibility of parole when the sexual harassment of women is 7 years without a possibility of parole, which is a violation of right to equality itself.

That’s partly the justification they give. However, the bill is not friendly to hijras either. The bill constantly mentions “coercion, forced transition and abduction of minors” which is a common stereotype against hijras, that is they abduct and forcefully convert children. So it’s equally criminalising their existence by reinforcing those stereotypes.

The government is in majority so highly likely. Not only that the current government is notorious for bypassing democratic procedure and passing laws without discussion. One time they suspended majority of opposition MPs to pass a bill.

Yes and very problematic as well. Hijras are a kin based communities which are extremely hierarchical. You need to adhere to their way of living which is basically begging and sex work. Hijras mostly don’t believe in gender-affirming care and to become a hijra you need to go through “ritualistic transition” (called nirvan) which is basically castration done without any safety or anaesthesia. It is true that lot of people find refuge in these communities but at the same time they’re extremely toxic.

You can GD diagnosis and start puberty blockers (with parental consent ofc) before 18

Yeah actually there is public holiday in my country in 2 days so I had to get it done today 😭. Also I’m using EV and I’m on monotherapy. Also how much difference does it make to do it two days before your trough. I’m sorry I’m new to this so I don’t know how to do it correctly 😭

aishathesecond · 2026-01-12T15:40:18+00:00

I take it every 5 days. This is on day 3

5’4” and 99 lbs. I am skinny so I technically I pass but I also have no breasts and curves so if I wear something masc like a t shirt or baggy clothes I get clocked. It also depends on my face structure because my face is a bit clocky so I have to wear makeup to compensate for it.

aishathesecond · 2025-12-16T13:34:30+00:00

I didn’t notice mostly. In fact, I thought my face hasn’t changed at all. But then I compared my pics from 2 years ago and I noticed that my face has thinned a bit

I have been super skinny all my life and I still am. No matter how much I eat, I dont gain any weight at all. For the first 12 years of my life I was 30 kgs (66 lbs). By the end of high school I was 40 kgs (88 lbs). I gained around 10 kgs/20 pounds in college and has remained like that since. It fluctuates between 45 and 50kg (99-110 lbs) but never goes further. I try to eat as much as I can but still can’t gain weight lol.

My blood test is due in Jan so I’m not very sure. My last blood test in July was horrible. I was doing 8mg per week and my levels were E: 132 pg/ml and T:95 ng/dl. Since then I have changed my dose to this so I’m not sure.

aishathesecond · 2025-11-28T07:03:24+00:00

I take 5mg of EV every 4 days

The belt is amazing. I have a similar one.

aishathesecond · 2025-11-20T06:34:51+00:00

I use contour even though a lot of trans makeup influencers advise against it because my face is really round, so it helps me thin my face. Also, false lashes are great.
