Chief Rabbinate Council Member seeks Rabbinate intervention in Givati APC case
Rabbi Eliezer Weisz urges the Chief Rabbinate to intervene after Givati soldiers were punished for refusing to ride in an APC with a female paramedic.
The Madras High Court has ordered the Tamil Nadu Nursing Council (TNNMC) to amend the gender designation of one of its registrants in its records. The registrant, who identifies as a transgender male, has requested that only the 'male' designation be used in all communications with the TNNMC and the Karnataka State Nursing Council (KSNC) where the individual plans to relocate.
Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy directed the TNNMC to update its records both digitally and physically, removing any references to 'transgender' or 'transgender male' and recording the registrant's gender simply as 'male'. The court emphasized that such changes should not be communicated to any other authority, including the KSNC, to avoid stigmatization.
The TNNMC is also required to transfer the registrant's records to the KSNC within eight weeks, using only the 'male' designation in all relevant columns.
