Madras HC questions on the continued usage of term “Gender Identity Disorder”

The Madras High Court questioned the usage of the term “Gender Identity Disorder” to describe people who identify themselves as part of the LGBTQIA+ Spectrum.

It was observed that the usage of the term suggests that the individual is suffering from a disorder and ignores their sexual orientation.

Justice Venkatesh was also informed by the State about the proposition of two policies – for trans, intersex people and other for the LGBTQIA+ community. The court in turn questioned the rationale and asked them to file a note on the difficulties of having one policy.
