National Assembly, Transgender, Rights, Harassment, LGBT movementAbstract
National Assembly of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan enacted a Transgender
Person Protection Bill\Act back in 2018 which included several rights given to
trans people. This act prohibits any kind of discrimination, harassment and give
transgender an identity in society. Back then, this bill did not get any specific
recognition as well as importance. But this very same act has been renewed with
some amendments in 2022, only this time it received severe backlash nationally
from famous Religious leaders as well as public. Reason for this severe criticism
is vastly growing LGBT movements (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans genders)
around the world and the even more problematic thing is that even muslim
countries are also recognizing this ethically as well as religiously unacceptable
movement which can lead directly towards the destruction of mankind.
Controversial statements in the act enacted by National Assembly and opinions of
different religious scholars on it is discussed here in light of the teachings of Holy
Quran and Sunnah of Holy Prophet (PBUH).
