| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Gender counting has been a longstanding concern of South Asian politics. For the past several years, gender counting has taken on central importance in South Asia in a new register. In both Pakistan and India, as part of a larger discussion on transgender rights and welfare, the state has engaged in various efforts to count the number of transgender persons living within its borders. In this recent (trans)gender counting, we see not only progressive welfare ambitions, but also the resurgence of regressive attitudes and practices towards transgender individuals, the transgender community and kinship practices. |
