The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On September 18th, Pakistan's Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) stated that a law introduced in 2018 for transgender people, which allows them to be recognized as their gender without needing any confirmation from a medical board, is unsuitable by Islamic standards. The claim that the bill is unacceptable as per Islamic standards came from a Pakistani Senator, Mushtaq Ahmed, from the explicitly anti-LGTBQ+ Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party. The 2018 Transgender Persons' (Protection of Rights) bill was created to protect transgender people from discrimination. According to Mushtaq, permitting people to change their gender marker would become a "danger to the family and inheritance systems," as the assets are divided based on gender by the Islamic system of inheritance. This would result in 220 million people being able to decide "whatever they want." Nasreen Jalil, a member of the Senate of Pakistan and chair of the Senate Functional Committee on Human Rights, said "The transgender community is opposed to the idea of setting up a medical board that should determine their gender, fearing that they might be subjected to embarrassment and harassment."
