Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has agreed to examine a plea filed by a transgender teacher whose services were terminated by two private schools due to her gender identity. The teacher was forced to resign after students and staff at a school in Uttar Pradesh became aware of her transgender identity. The plea argues that the termination violates the Transgender Persons (Protections of Rights) Act, 2019 and the Uttar Pradesh Intermediate Education Act, 1921. Another school in Gujarat also indicated that her transgender identity would be an issue in employing her. The plea requests urgent intervention from the court to ensure the protections of the law are upheld. [Extracted from the article]
