A women's non-governmental organization in the Supreme Court of South Carolina (SC) opposed granting full spectrum of constitutional rights guaranteed to biological women to transgender women who are biologically male and identify as women.
This protest arose against a series of petitions challenging the Gender Amendment Act, which denies the right to gender self-determination.
SG Tushar Mehta stated that a comprehensive statement is currently being prepared, but he provided insight into the government's position defending the exclusion of the gender self-determination clause, which was replaced with gender determined by medical indications.
