1. Provide reservation for transgender persons: Madras HC tells State
The Madras High Court directed the Tamil Nadu government to provide reservations to transgender persons in the local body polls as an initial measure aimed at bringing them into mainstream society.
Justice S.M. Subramaniam went on to state that education must be such that it should transcend appearance, colour, physique and gender stereotypes. No one should make another feel less than fully accepted. “This is the worst form of discrimination. In no way is one less than the others and under no circumstance shall one be made to feel so,” he said.
