What is the Transgender Act? Its devastating effects on Society


 A few days ago, in the Parliament of God's Kingdom of Pakistan, a hideous game was played with the Islamic and Pakistani society under the guise of transgender rights. A law was made in the form of the Transgender Act, which was passed by the lower house and is yet to be passed in the upper house. This act was first presented in 2018 during the NNL regime and among those who presented it were the Centers of People's Party, Raza Rabbani, Rubina Khalid, Farhatullah Babar and Naveed Qamar.

Three definitions of transgender have been defined in this act. (1) A person whose genitalia is ambiguous (2) A person who was male and has accidentally lost his genitalia is transgender, (3) A person who is clearly But either a man or a woman but he feels that I am not of this gender, then he is a transgender, he has the right to change his identity documents according to his feelings and NADRA will be legally bound to make this change.

Now, the second and third definitions here are completely against Islamic traditions and ethics and no intelligent person can accept that a person can go according to his will and go and change his sex, even though he and everyone else It is well known whether he is a man or a woman. It is like if a person comes who has perfect eyes but says that I think I am blind, will that person be made the headmaster of a school for the blind? Or if a person comes who can see, walk and sit perfectly fine and says that I think I am disabled, then will he be made the president of the disabled people's association? How can a thing which is against nature be enforced?

Ironically, this bill is introduced in May 2018 and becomes an act in 2022. According to the NADRA report, 28,723 people have applied for gender reassignment in the last three years from July 2018 to June 2021. Among them, there were 16,530 men who wanted to register themselves as women, 2,154 women who applied to identify themselves as men.

The biggest flaw in this act is that a person can change their gender voluntarily and no medical examination or doctor's testimony is required under this law. British and Indian Acts also require medical check-up for gender reassignment. According to the Indian Ministry of Law KL 2019, a council has been formed in which a psychologist has been appointed and it is written that the person who submits the application for gender reassignment must submit a certificate issued by the concerned doctor. Must be done.

What will be the consequences of this controversial act and what will happen in the society? As a result, a man who is registered as a woman in government documents (1) can marry another man (2) can go to women's polling stations (3) can use women's washrooms, swimming pools, etc. (4) He can take admission in women's colleges (5) He can participate in women's sports. Similarly, a woman who has become a man in government documents can claim her share in the inheritance equal to that of a man. The resulting devastation in the Islamic family system is indescribable.

This will promote homosexuality as well as same-sex marriages and this storm of homosexuality will engulf the entire society. Unfortunately, the number of the oppressed gender, i.e. real transgenders, for whom this law is made is very small; They are not getting any benefit from it, but fake men and women will benefit from it by legally making themselves transgender.

Unfortunately, some other topics are being discussed in the media and our mood has also become such that we like spicy news and we find such topics boring. Then we say why floods come upon us and Allah gives us the punishment, Allah Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an that "You accept some things and reject others" and those who do this Allah Allah said for them in His speech, "I humiliate and disgrace them in this world."

It is still time for us to understand nature, and stop playing with the orders of God and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), otherwise it will not become a situation that "Then We overturned these settlements and replaced the upper parts of them." (Al-Qur'an) There are many lessons for people of insight in this incident and these settlements of theirs are located on the side of the road.
