Yesterday, On 12th June, The Madras High Court mandated that transgender individuals be recognized as a special category, separate from male or female classifications, for employment and education opportunities. Age relaxations and distinct criteria for job and educational opportunities are to be provided. This decision was prompted by a petition filed by a transgender individual denied consideration in civil service exams. The court also criticized the unsustainable approach of the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission.
