Source - done a bunch of transactions against him. Always enjoy negotiating against him.
1. Granted, they are some of the most persecuted people.
2. However, this does not mean either that they should make that particular protected characteristic the predominent thing they present to the world, or that they should expect special treatment from the rest of society - nobody, be they disabled, LGBTQ, religious minority... should expect that. As above, is society doing a good job of treating intersex people well? No. And anyone who says they are is either kidding themselves, is deliberately trolling or knows nothing about how life works. As for 'self-improvement', disability issues are only one of the many topics I choose to talk about with people. There are loads of interesting things to talk about: from economics to politics, philosophy to current affairs, history and music, technological developments and literature... the list is endless. While I am not the person who wrote that comment, it was a gentle hint to become more aware of the world, to be more well read, etc. Essentially, do not allow yourself to be defined by your identity. People shouldn't know you as 'the intersex person in our acquaintance circle', but as 'that really smart person in our known circle, who is intersex, and who beat all odds despite societal prejudice and achieved success in her field'.
3. Even if you reject the advice that has been given to you, at the very least reflect on your rudeness, as demonstrated above. This was an unwise thing to do, and I am immensely disappointed that you chose to respond to a perfectly reasonable (largely) counter to your arguments with ad hominem (which, as you should know, is Lattin for attacking the person rather than the argument).
He might have taken some decisions within his role in the consortium, but it would have to be proven that he took this one at all.
Is that how small your world is? Who told you that people- any people are not capable of self improvement? Why apply to attend university if you dont think theres room for self improvement? I have several gay/ lesbian/ disabled/ dalit friends- they would be horrified at this kind of talk. It would be anathema to them to suppose that because of their identity they were either incapable of self improvement or that they shouldnt be invested in self improvement. They would be aghast at being told they had to only speak about their identities and there was nothing else to talk about. In fact these people almost never talk about their identities. Instead they talk about the languages theyre learning, the litigation/research theyre doing, the books theyre reading, politics, society, culture, history, the list of things they talk about thats not related to their sexuality or caste or ability is literally endless. Gay/ lesbian/disabled whatever you are still allowed to be an entire person. And youre allowed to have all the interests of an entire person. Anyone who seeks to diminish your world to identity politics has ill served you indeed. And because And it's because youre an entire person that you have flaws that you work on. I had to work on consistency and being self driven when I was in law school. Others had to work on their confidence or on more mundane skills like writing and reading and analysis. Thats what law school is for. To improve things about yourself. If you have a "what is there to improve" mindset- you would likely hate it.
Why on earth would you take what society says as the defining characteristic of your life? I have had auto immune diseases my entire life that make me "abnormal". that doesnt mean I have to hyperfocus on the one bit of my life that I likely cannot fix that sets me apart. I suggest you go to therapy and work this stuff out. This thing youre doing to yourself is diminishing yourself.
Your friend clearly wasnt genetically deselected. Considering that she is alive. But you know who else is subject to selective abortions? females. Congratulations, you have the same trauma as 51% of the population. There's a sense of victimization that's seemingly become the core of your identity and that's a really sad way to live your life.
You seem to be changing your story a bit. I thought the score your "friend" got did not qualify her for NLS. It might have but it did not. So close but no cigar. And then I thought the reason she couldn't attend was the fees. Now you're telling me that it was none of that—there was blatant discrimination based on sex characteristics? So she had the scores? How did the CLAT consortium know about her sex characteristics? Do you have proof of this blatant discrimination? Or are you assuming, since your "friend" has "nothing to improve" that the only reason she was not admitted is because of her sex characteristics? tens of thousands of students who are all morally equally valuable do not get into NLS. Its not because of their identities. It's because of their clat scores. Every year there is someone who almost got into NLS and then didnt. My roommate was one such person- came from bangalore almost got into NLS and then fell one rank short. She just dealt with the disappointment and went to NALSAR instead, and she did great in life.
Of course I'm comparing like people alike. I do not think having a DSD makes you lesser or greater than someone who does have a DSD. Do you think people should be treated differently based on sex characteristics? Do you not want equality? Do you want sacred caste status instead? And intersex is such a broad category to start with. Some people think PCOS, hirsutism, or a micropenis are intersex conditions. If you ask me those people can and do want to just go about their lives without identifying as " most persecuted and marginalised members of society."
How did you arrive at that characterisation by the way? the most persecuted and marginalised stuff? Did you compare traumas? Did you take all intersectionalities into account? What makes someone with a DSD more marginalised and persecuted than someone who is called a terrorist or a naxal because of the tribe or religion they are born into ? what makes someone with a DSD more marginalised than someone who cannot get a drink of water or a house to rent or a job that isnt manual scavenging because of their caste? What makes someone with a DSD more marginalised than someone who is born into poverty, never gets schooled, ends up working in one of these factories where youre expected to work on a machine line without a break and suffer workplace injuries? What makes someone with a DSD more marginalised that someone who has any other disability?
I'm not gonna keep responding to you because theres clearly a lot of trauma talk you need to work through in therapy rather than a message board and youre clearly not very stable. But I cannot recommend enough that you go to a cognitive behavioural therapist. This thing youre doing to yourself is hurting only you.
on a serious note tho, intern under a good advocate at the high court/district courts level. understand the system. honestly depends on your preference of practice area
Typical humanities subjects passouts
You’ll be glad that you live in India.
I have an internship lined up in July. Can someone let me know if they allot your preferred practice area? Which are good teams and which are the teams to avoid if given the option to choose? Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks!
Genuinely curious, does a senior advocate really earn this much?

2. Seniors
3. Quality of work/clients
Dont need to think twice
also, i did secure the internship with a reference - will that prejudice my chances?
Was it a PPO interview or like how did you get it
So why did the Modi government bat so hard for them?
A tablet or an iPad for that matter is a mere convenience, it’s much handy and better for reading, annotating or even taking notes but it can’t replace the utility of a laptop.
I’d suggest you go ahead with a laptop right now and eventually you may buy a tablet.
I mean what are the parameters for selection?
Do these awards hold any sanctity?
What part of a firm's budget do firms allocate for these titles?
this insanity with rotation is ruining the lives of aspirants, when clat started we needed to build trsut by allowing the finances to be checked by diff nlus, but now with almost 15 years of experience it is time for some stability, there can be revenue sharing without sharing responsibilites.
