M.K. Stalin. File | Photo Credit: PTI Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday (March 25, 2026) said the Union government should not impose the proposed amendments to the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, and urged the Centre to build consensus with transgender persons before moving forward. In a post on X, Mr. Stalin said the amendment Bill cannot be pushed through without listening to the very people whose rights and lives it will affect. When a law framed in the name of protection is opposed by the community itself, it calls for reflection, not imposition. The BJP government at the Centre must pause, engage, and build genuine consensus with transgender persons before moving forward, he added.
