On 28 October, the Supreme Court tagged a petition from the Indian arm of a UK-based trans-exclusionary organisation, Women’s Declaration International (WDI), with the petitions filed by queer-trans folks against the Trans Amendment Act.

The new petition challenges the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, 2026, for allowing "biological men" to obtain “opposite gender certificates” and enjoy protections reserved for “biological women."

The Supreme Court issued notices to central government ministries to file a response to this petition.

The court hearing on the petitions challenging the amended law was scheduled for today but it didn't come up. As per the Supreme Court website, it's slated to be heard on 18 November now.

Why are you not covering that this has been funded by the billionaire nilekani's daughter? Using the family wealth to do anti trans stuff. Have you guys asked @rnp_foundation what they views are and of their partners?

Okay so if u can't legally treat a trans women as a women then give a transwomrn her own rights, rights reserved for her (same for transmen)

Strange that WDI is represented by a man fighting for women!! Aren’t there any women there to fight? Shameless, this clearly shows who is behind all this nonsense!! #transrightsarehumanrights

I FINALLY FOUND IT. For the last six months, I’ve been searching through storage for the original 1997 National Enquirer article about me coming out. And today, there it was. I was 21 years old, and the Enquirer had made it clear they were going to run a story about my sexuality whether I participated or not. So I made the decision to speak for myself. Seeing the actual article again almost 30 years later is surreal. And here’s something I had forgotten: all things considered, it’s actually pretty heartfelt. Yes, the headline is enormous and very 1997. But the story talks about the support I received from my family, Tony Danza and Judith Light, and even includes a message about courage and coming out from Chaz Bono. It’s wild to think how short the list of openly gay public figures still was in 1997, and how many people would come out publicly in the years that followed. That doesn’t change how complicated it was to have something so personal become national news before I was ready for it to happen on my own terms. But reading it now, I can also see a 21-year-old me trying to take control of a situation I hadn’t chosen and say, “If this story is going to be told, I want my voice in it.” And I’m kind of proud of him for that. And a little thank you to @therealchazbono too. Seeing those words of support sitting beside my story nearly 30 years later means more to me now than I probably understood at the time. ❤️ Almost 30 years later, I finally have the actual piece of history back in my hands. Still gay. Still here. And very grateful that today, I get to decide how my story is told.
