    The delegate of Botswana believes that firstly the overall resolution is bordering on absurdity in its sense to expect and hope for the rest of the world to adhere to Pakistan’s stance on its strong belief in supporting transgender yet requiring the whole of society to strike the presence of same sex marriages. It is ironic for Pakistan to expect that, whereas in some other countries or other forms of society, many believe that it is the other way round and that same sex marriages are more acceptable than the culture of transgender rights and equality. Thus, the delegate of Botswana believes that Clause 2 is therefore saying that it is possible to become transgender and be fully recognized as such purely by changing the name and gender. It is like saying that the delegate of Botswana is able to declare that this delegate is a pizza simply due to this delegate saying so. Clause 2 is essentially doing exactly so and completely disregards the diversity in views that may come from different countries where their religion and views can alter their perception on this clause.
