SC stays Kerala HC order asking lesbian woman to go for gender sensitisation counselling

A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also issued notice to the state government and the parents on the plea by the woman's partner.

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Kerala High Court order directing a woman to go for "gender sensitisation counselling" after her lesbian partner alleged that the former was being illegally detained by her parents for having a relationship.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also issued notice to the state government and the parents on the plea by the woman's partner.
The bench has sought a report to ascertain the factual situation of the case.
It was hearing a habeas corpus petition by her partner alleging that the woman has been "illegally detained" by her parents at her residence.
"We direct the fourth and fifth respondents (parents of the woman) shall in the interim produce the detenu before the family court at Kollam. They shall arrange for an interview of the detenu with Ms Salina of the Supreme Court E-Committee," it said.
"The officer of this court shall submit a report on whether she is being kept in illegal detention. The statements shall be recorded in a fair manner, without any correction. Report to be submitted in a sealed cover. There shall be a stay of further proceedings before the high court till the next date of listing," it said.
The bench, also comprising justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala, directed the state government and others to file their replies to the petition by February 17.
The petition claimed that the high court had detained and sent the woman back to her family with a direction to send her to a "gender sensitisation" counselling camp.
On the CJI Chandrachud's query about the nature of the relationship between the petitioner and the detainee, the counsel said, "We (both the women) are partners. We are in love." The bench noted that the high court had passed an order requiring a legal services authority official to visit the parents of the detenu to ascertain if she was in illegal detention, but her statement showed that she was not under illegal detention.
The high court then directed that the detenu shall attend counselling session, the apex court bench noted.

A government lower primary school in Ernakulam district of Kerala has shown the way of gender neutrality by introducing a common uniform for all its students.
The gender neutral policy was introduced in 2018 which required the students to wear shirts and three-fourths trousers. However, it was not discussed much at that time but it sparked discussions on social media across the state.
C Raji, the former Headmistress who implemented this decision in 2018 after the approval from the school management committee and parents teachers committee said, "Gender equality was the main subject when we were talking about many factors to implement in the school. Therefore uniform came to mind when I was thinking about what to do with it.  Girls face a lot of problems when it comes to  skirts. The idea of a change in this was discussed with everyone. 90% of parents supported this at that time. The kids were happy too. I feel very happy and proud that this is being discussed now."
Suma KP, the present Headmistress of the school said, "Although this decision was implemented in 2018, it is still under discussion. This uniform made the children very confident. This uniform is very helpful for doing anything, especially for girls. They and their parents are very happy with this decision.  The reason for this decision is the idea that boys and girls should have equal freedom and happiness."
 754 students are studying in the school curently.

US President Joe Biden has filled about 56% of his senior White House staff positions with women, including about 36% who come from racially and-or ethnically diverse backgrounds.
The Biden administration published the gender and pay analysis of its staff on Thursday as it delivered a required annual report to Congress listing the title and salary of every White House office employee.
The administration said the data shows it is &ldquo;the most diverse administration in history" and also has only a narrow pay gap between men and women on staff.
The average salary for women in the administration is $93,752, while men average $94,639, representing about a 1% pay gap.
That compares with a 37% gender pay gap in President Donald Trump's administration during his first year in office, while President Barack Obama's pay gap was 16% in the first year of his presidency.

You might have heard the term androgynous fashion floating around on social media but what does androgyny really mean?&nbsp;Androgyny&nbsp;essentially&nbsp;means blurring the lines between what is considered the masculine and&nbsp;the feminine.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is a way of understanding gender&nbsp;outside the traditional binaries. While the concept is nothing new to the 21st&nbsp;century,&nbsp;it seems to cause as much controversy today as it did back in the day when Coco Chanel made pants for women more than a 100 years ago.&nbsp;
Earlier this year, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh was brutally trolled on&nbsp;Twitter&nbsp;for wearing heeled boots. This is because fashion is intrinsically linked to our&nbsp;identity, and dressing styles have been imposed&nbsp;based on binary genders for the longest time.&nbsp;And even though women wearing menswear-inspired clothing is accepted, if not lauded, the same courtesy is not always extended to the boys.&nbsp;
But&nbsp;celebrities like Harry Styles, Justin Bieber and Billy Porter as well as&nbsp;big&nbsp;brands like&nbsp;Gucci and Sabyasachi are a part of&nbsp;a move&nbsp;towards&nbsp;a new direction.&nbsp;
One&nbsp;Directioner&nbsp;Harry Styles is the&nbsp;pop culture&nbsp;icon for gender non-conforming style. From ruffled sleeves and&nbsp;romantic pinks to a full-blown ballerina look, Styles is not afraid of embracing his feminine side.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In India, actors like Ranveer Singh, Jim&nbsp;Sarbh,&nbsp;brothers&nbsp;Aparshakti&nbsp;and&nbsp;Ayushmann Khurana&nbsp;often play with feminine silhouettes&nbsp;and gender-neutral styling without boarding the full cross-dresser train.&nbsp;
Addressing the rising demand for clothes that defy boundaries, many young labels say they&nbsp;now&nbsp;focus on silhouettes and fabrics rather than the gender of the person who will wear them. Brands like&nbsp;Huemn,&nbsp;Bloni,&nbsp;NorBlack&nbsp;NorWhite&nbsp;and Bobo Calcutta all&nbsp;want to&nbsp;envision a future of fashion&nbsp;where there are no gendered sections in a clothing shop.&nbsp;
International behemoth Gucci&nbsp;is&nbsp;the world leader in making androgynous garments.&nbsp;So much so, that&nbsp;you&rsquo;d be hard-pressed to call out conventional&nbsp;genders of even the models featured in Gucci ads.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Boarding a similar train, Sabyasachi also recently featured a male model wearing&nbsp;a delicate&nbsp;sequinned gold-bronze slip dress&nbsp;but it wasn&rsquo;t without ruffling some feathers.&nbsp;
While the nasty trolling can&rsquo;t be ignored, social media has also given a platform for people to express their&nbsp;individual definitions of gender.&nbsp;Influencers&nbsp;like Alok V Menon, Arka Patra,&nbsp;Dr&nbsp;Trinetra Haldar,&nbsp;Pushpak Sen&nbsp;and many, many&nbsp;more&nbsp;are shattering stereotypes about gendered dressing, one Instagram post at a time.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Displaying your true identities isn&rsquo;t always easy and more so in the age of social media, where your every move is scrutinised by the public.&nbsp;We applaud these icons&nbsp;for&nbsp;pushing the general public&nbsp;to change the way we wear, advertise and discuss fashion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here&rsquo;s hoping that one day, expressing yourself wouldn&rsquo;t be considered the greatest rebellion.&nbsp;

The movers and shakers of androgynous fashion and why it matters!

Androgyny&nbsp;is a way of blurring the lines between what is considered masculine and feminine. But how does that impact&nbsp;the clothes we choose, to not just cover our body but also express our varied gender identities!&nbsp;

A way of understanding gender beyond the traditional binaries&nbsp;&nbsp;
Not a new concept but continues to stir controversy nonetheless&nbsp;

In a bid to increase gender equality in the workplace, Japanese women are now engaging in the #KuToo movement. The protest is against what they say is a de facto requirement for female staff to wear high heels at work. Started by actress Yumi Ishikawa, the movement has garnered massive support online and a petition has already been submitted to the government. #Kutoo is a play on the Japanese word Kutsu meaning shoes.
