ITBP refuses gender change plea, citing ‘bad impact’ on personnel

The ITBP denied a female staffer’s request for a gender change procedure due to concerns about psychological and behavioral impacts, and differences in physical requirements. The MHA advised seeking the medical opinion of the CAPFs, which also cited negative effects. Past instances like the CISF’s approval for gender reassignment surgery highlight the need for comprehensive policy development on such matters.
