A brand new e-zine covering India’s “gender identity” ideology

For the past three years, I have been actively calling out the gender industry’s calculated hijack of women’s spaces and rights. This has helped me gain sisterhood from around the world, as well as vitriol from the gender cult. Starting 2022, my plan is to double down on my advocacy by focusing exclusively on my country. I wish to bring all updates under one roof; point out the cunning ways in which stakeholders are using backdoor lobbies to implement misogynistic and homophobic policies in an already corrupt country.

India, it seems, is way past the threshold of debates or discussions. Voice of an individual citizen like me does not stand a chance against the highly influential lobbyists, several of whom stand to benefit from this, directly. Chief Justices/ lawmakers/ media persons are using ‘trans-speak’ to fervently campaign for “equal rights” of “trans people.” They have set out to battle (the misnomer that is) conversion therapy, with zero understanding of what it means in this context.

Some of the recent developments include Stonewall’s unsurprising foray into the Indian corporate world. I have the displeasure of watching Nancy Kelley dole out asinine statements, now about India. Companies are throwing in billions of dollars in the name of “inclusion and diversity” for the LGBT* community, claiming to end discrimination and to right the wrong. While it seems noble at the face of it, we all know which demographic such a policy would benefit. Corporations are supporting such a lavish propaganda without knowing that sexuality has very little to do in this grand scheme of things. Last time I checked, who I sleep with should neither be an eligibility criteria nor an interview discussion; yet, they claim to be inclusive of the LGBT* community by “redefining” hiring practices. Going through their agonisingly long PDFs, the only positive I see is that corporations now claim to include same-sex partners as beneficiaries in insurance policies. The practicality of this is subject to India’s infamous bureaucracy. But I’m sure the insurance companies offering such woke policies aren’t complaining about monthly premiums, and a new market demographic. Suffice to say, it is a foot in the door to allow men to get away with accessing women’s toilets (oops! “gender neutral” toilets) and have the insurance companies pay for dangerous, irreversible procedures, thereby expanding the scope of transgenderism to other parts of the society.

Here’s where we are:

 – Pride Circle, a self-proclaimed “Diversity & Inclusion Hybrid Organisation,” claims to “create a bridge between the LGBT+ community with the larger ecosystem: industry bodies, associations, government agencies, non-profit organisations, educational institutions, parent groups, local and global allies …” This organisation works directly with Stonewall.

 – Axis bank, a listed company with more than 78,000 employees is one of the many corporations claiming to support the LGBT* community. “Employees can choose to use the restroom of their choice in accordance with their gender expression or gender identity. Axis Bank said it has initiated all gender restrooms at our large offices” – a press announcement reads.

 – On January 5, 2021, the Bombay High Court allowed a trans-identified male to contest village panchayat (town council) polls as “female” from a ward reserved for women, saying that such persons have the right to a “self perceived gender identity.”

 – On March 15th, the Kerala High Court allowed a trans-identified male to join NCC (National Cadet Corps) and called for changes in enrolment criteria. The single bench of Justice Anu Sivaraman (a woman) said, “in view of the specific provisions of the 2019 act, a transgender person has the right to be recognised not only as a transgender but also a right to self-perceived gender, i.e. the female gender.”

 – In a university in Calicut, a city in the state of Kerala, a trans-identified male participated in women’s sports kicking a woman out of her rightful spot. “Calicut University made history while letting a transgender student compete in the university level athletics competition along with female students” – a news source.

 – Medical schools are advised to revise their curriculum to include “transgender” persons; a government panel has been set up to sensitise doctors and alter existing scientific texts to incorporate the gender woo.

These stories are merely the tip of the gender iceberg. With every passing day, a capitalist and sinister plot is getting churned out. India has a long way to go in creating and upholding the rights of women, and now, the very word ‘woman’ is up for speculation, so the fight for the rights of women seems to have lost all its meaning.

I am a filmmaker and a full-time activist. I used to write for many Indian media companies prior to my cancellation. Now, either they don’t commission gigs, or I am disgusted by their woke editorial policies that I do not wish to associate with them.

Watch this space for your periodic dose of “stunning and brave!”
