In a landmark ruling for the country, after rejecting claims that womanhood was preserved only for those who can bear children, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh ruled that trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.
Transphobes in absolute shambles. 
When courts in Hindutva controlled India are more progressive than those in the “enlightened” Western Anglo world. 
For a while now they’ve technically been recognizing hijra as third gender but not recognizing trans women in many places. There’s also some friction between people who identify with hijra and their historical practices and trans women which is seen as more western. I’ve talked to people about this before it’s quite different in many places in India on trans issues
Contrary to Western countries, there aren’t any ifs or buts, nor are there any exceptions or separate rules.
Just a pure and simple “trans women are women”.
Don’t worry, in a few years, SCOTUS will rule that trans women are fully legally women. This ruling will come 3 days after that *Handmaid’s Tale" Gilead law passes that prohibits women from having bank accounts. Trans women will be fully recognized as women…and immediately fall under the full control of their fathers or husbands.
Even fascist India has better personal rights than terf fucking island.
What’s more fascist about India than any other place? Because they have a right winger in charge now?
Fucking finally good news on this dammed year
I know I know but claiming womanhood is only for people who can have children excludes a lot of cis women and its endlessly satisfying transphobes can’t actually put a definition to it that excludes us but includes cis women.
