Sexual misidentity and indian society.
Journal Title: Journal of Punjab Academy of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
The society is perfectly comfortable with Sexual Identity of a male or female. Between male and female there is a grey area which is composed of sizeable population, where the sexual Identity of an individual cannot be established by society. Specialized investigations are required to identify sex, by doctors. In many cases our intolerant society goes to the extent of humiliating, individuals having anomaly of sex. This impinges on fundamental right as promised by Constitution. Ironically, in this case the police, who are supposed to protect of constitutional right is squarely at fault.
