The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 was passed by Parliament on November 26, 2019. The Bill defines a transperson as someone whose gender does not match the one assigned at birth. It prohibits discrimination against them in employment, education, housing, healthcare and other services. A grievance redressal mechanism has been set up for the issues related to transgenders called National Council for Transgender Persons (NCTP) for the protection of their rights. Any complaint regarding discrimination such as restriction to entry shall be raised with the NCTP.
The Bill allows self-perception of gender identity, but it mandates that each person would have to be recognised as 'transgender' on the basis of a certificate of identity issued by a district magistrate. Under the provisions of this 2019 Act, a transgender person can apply to the District Magistrate for a transgender person certificate which will give them the right to change the name on their birth certificate and have all documents updated accordingly. However, similar to the 2018 bill's provisions, a transgender person can be identified as male or female only after applying for a revised certificate to the District Magistrate, post sex reassignment surgery.
The Bill enforces a minor's right of residence compelling any transperson below 18 to cohabit with their natal family. Every transgender child has a Right of Residence with parents and immediate family members and be included in the household. This ensured a family-life for transgender children by prohibiting their separation from their family, without taking into account harassment and discrimination they may face within their family as a result of which they may choose to be separated and reside with transgender persons. A transgender child, as per the provisions, could be separated from their family only by a court order.
The bill further criminalises begging which transgender persons in India, such as the hijras and jogtas, engage in as a ritual-custom, while some rely on it for livelihood.
The 2019 Act also protects transgender children and provides for states and institutions to come up with adequate policies for the welfare of transgender persons. However, unlike the Rights of Transgender Persons Bill, 2014, neither the 2018 nor the 2019 Act provides for mandatory reservations for transgender persons in educational institutions and jobs. The 2014 bill had provided for two per-cent reservations in educational institutions and public employment. Similar to the 2018 bill, the 2019 Act provides for punishment for crimes against transgender persons, which stands as an imprisonment for a term not less than six months, but which may extend to two years and a fine. Both bills also provide for the constitution of a National Council for Transgender Persons.

Please answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.

Please choose the option that most accurately and comprehensively answers the question.The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 was passed by Parliament on November 26, 2019. The Bill defines a transperson as someone whose gender does not match the one assigned at birth. It prohibits discrimination against them in employment, education, housing, healthcare and other services. A grievance redressal mechanism has been set up for the issues related to transgenders called National Council for Transgender Persons (NCTP) for the protection of their rights. Any complaint regarding discrimination such as restriction to entry shall be raised with the NCTP.The Bill allows self-perception of gender identity, but it mandates that each person would have to be recognised as transgender on the basis of a certificate of identity issued by a district magistrate. Under the provisions of this 2019 Act, a transgender person can apply to the District Magistrate for a transgender person certificate which will give them the right to change the name on their birth certificate and have all documents updated accordingly. However, similar to the 2018 bills provisions, a transgender person can be identified as male or female only after applying for a revised certificate to the District Magistrate, post sex reassignment surgery.The Bill enforces a minors right of residence compelling any transperson below 18 to cohabit with their natal family. Every transgender child has a Right of Residence with parents and immediate family members and be included in the household. This ensured a family-life for transgender children by prohibiting their separation from their family, without taking into account harassment and discrimination they may face within their family as a result of which they may choose to be separated and reside with transgender persons. A transgender child, as per the provisions, could be separated from their family only by a court order.The bill further criminalises begging which transgender persons in India, such as the hijras and jogtas, engage in as a ritual-custom, while some rely on it for livelihood.The 2019 Act also protects transgender children and provides for states and institutions to come up with adequate policies for the welfare of transgender persons. However, unlike the Rights of Transgender Persons Bill, 2014, neither the 2018 nor the 2019 Act provides for mandatory reservations for transgender persons in educational institutions and jobs. The 2014 bill had provided for two per-cent reservations in educational institutions and public employment. Similar to the 2018 bill, the 2019 Act provides for punishment for crimes against transgender persons, which stands as an imprisonment for a term not less than six months, but which may extend to two years and a fine.
