Gender in India

Hijra, kinnar, aravani and jogappa communities have existed here for centuries. In 2014 the Supreme Court (NALSA) affirmed the right to self-identify one's gender, and in 2018 it decriminalised same-sex relations (Navtej Singh Johar). The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act came in 2019.
