The petitioner argued that the community faces trauma, agony, pain, and ridicule every day due to lack of recognition of their gender by the DTC in the bus tickets issued by the conductors, despite the law mandating the government to do so.
“The misery of the members of the transgender community is further enhanced, when the conductor on a routine basis berates such persons for choosing the female gender, as the conductor accuses them of trying to procure free bus tickets,” the plea stated.
