It is discussed how the norms have changed over the years and how it is not just an issue pertaining to the Trans community but also limits the expression of a ‘Cis Man or Woman’. The film discusses about the notion of gender incongruence being ‘unnatural’, how things that were considered unacceptable in the past are widely prevalent now and also how pop-culture representation plays a role in establishing gender roles. It then leads to the aspects of trans bill 2019 that has been passed on 26th November 2019 and waiting president’s sign to become an act. The biggest reason behind the opposition to the bill being that a decent number of people were not consulted from the community while it’s formulation and that the bill has many clauses which are in contradiction with the Supreme Court’s NALSA judgement and has also ignored many crucial directions from it. The film is the culmination of views of the community regarding the bill. The film will be followed by a discussion with Rachelle Bharati Chandran and Sagar. Rachelle Bharathi Chandran is a Dalit, Non-Binary identifying Pansexual person. Ze is currently pursuing research in the area of aesthetics and neuroimaging. Zir interests and work intersect within areas of intergenerational trauma, sex and gender within Dalit communities, accessible healthcare and creating support groups for marginalized persons.
