Abstract

In the three years from July 2018 to June 2021, 28,723 people have applied to identify themselves as separate from the gender they were assigned at birth based on their unique and internally felt feelings and emotions. Allot) and now they have changed their gender identity documents. Most of them are men, i.e. 16,530 were men who registered themselves as women. Then there are 12,154 women who were identified as girls at birth, but now prefer to call themselves male and become legally male. There are only 9 men who say we are actually transgender but we were mistakenly put in the men's account. On the contrary, 21 eunuchs are those who say that we are completely men and now we should be called men; While 9 transgender women applied to call themselves women. Since "any person" has the right to be recognized at any time with a "personally felt gender identity", if a person who is sexually male goes to a NADRA office and simply declares that If her gender identity is defined as female based on her personal feelings, NADRA has no power to say no, nor does NADRA have the power to ask her to undergo a medical or psychological examination. Now, once she was declared a woman in official papers and documents, she also got all the rights of women. From admission to a girls' college to membership of the National and Provincial Assembly and the Senate, from seats reserved for women in a bus to washrooms reserved for women in a restaurant; Rather, because she is a woman, she was legally allowed to marry a man, and remember that she got all this without changing her "gender" and without changing her physical structure.
