What Happened
The Supreme Court intervened Friday in Jane Kaushik's employment case. The transwoman teacher seeks workplace acceptance despite existing protections. A bench heard arguments from her legal representatives. The 2014 NALSA judgment recognized transgender persons as a third gender. The 2019 Transgender Persons Protection of Rights Act and 2020 Rules followed. Kaushik reported minimal employment improvement despite these legal protections and court decisions.
