India passes bill changing how transgender identity is defined

India's parliament has passed an amendment to a 2019 law that changes the legal definition of a transgender person. The new bill removes the right to self-identify one's gender, a key provision of the earlier law.

Transgender activists and community members have protested the change, saying it strips away a fundamental right and curbs LGBTQ rights. The bill's passage has caused alarm within the community, with one activist stating 'We will be fighting' against it.
