The Indian Supreme Court has recognized transgendered people as a third gender, The Times of India reports: "In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court on Tuesday created the 'third gender' status for hijras or transgenders. Earlier, they were forced to write male or female against their gender." That means transgendered people in India can have protection from discrimination at work and in school. However, the court limited its ruling to eunuchs, not others who identify as transgender.
