The Trans Amendment Act, which was passed despite nationwide opposition, revoked the legal right of transgender people to self-identify their gender. It introduced government-appointed medical boards that will now decide whether or not a person can be legally recognised as trans. The Act also introduced provisions that punish a person for “compelling” someone to adopt transgender presentations or identities. As several activists have pointed out, these provisions could potentially be misused to criminalise the delivery of community support or gender-affirming healthcare for trans persons
