A hashtag of ‘Amend Transgender Act’ has been trending on social media since morning. Most of the tweets have quoted Senator Mushtaq Ahmad’s speeches on the bill for amendments in the Transgender Protection Act, 2018.

Since then, there are many tweets circulating on social media highlighting how misleading the 2018’s amendment was and how it can advocate homosexuality in Pakistan:
