The Federal Shariat Court (FSC) has announced its final verdict on the petitions filed in response to the “un-Islamic” Transgender Act of 2018. According to the judgement, persons cannot alter their gender from male to female based on their sentiments.
All rights must be granted to intersex people by the government. The FSC said that Islam guarantees intersex people full basic rights and that Sections 2, 3, and 7 of the Transgender Act are un-Islamic.
Intersex people (also known as hermaphrodites) are born with ambiguous genitalia, but the word ‘transgender’ was used in 1965 to describe people who identified with a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth.
A two-member bench comprised of Acting Chief Justice Syed Muhammad Anwar and Justice Khadim Hussain reached the judgement. After all parties in the case had finished their arguments, the judgement was reserved on May 11th.
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senator Mushtaq Ahmed, Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), journalist Orya Maqbool Jan, and others filed petitions against the Transgender Act. When it issued its decision, the court rejected the applications.
