Transgender activists in Pakistan said they plan to appeal to the highest court in the land an Islamic court's ruling that guts a law aimed at protecting their rights.
It ruled that a person cannot change their gender on the basis of"innermost feeling" or"self-perceived identity" and must conform to the biological sex assigned to them at the time of birth. However, clerics and representatives from religious parties say the law has the potential to promote homosexuality in this conservative country with a Muslim majority. They want the Islamic court to annul the law.
For example it will allow a transgender woman - a person who is biologically male - to access social and religious gatherings of females or women-only public places, and vice versa, it said.

The court has the constitutional mandate of examining and determining whether laws passed by Parliament comply with Islamic doctrine.
