Transsexual person leads the fight for third gender
Sachin Sharma, TNN, Aug 18, 2013, 01:22AM IST

A transsexual person from Vadodara may play a key role in the central government formulating a clear policy for sex-change operations in the country. So far, most government hospitals refuse to perform the procedure, forcing transsexual people to approach private hospitals which charge prohibitive amounts. But with a policy in place, the government will not be able to refuse performing the procedure.

Union minister for social justice and empowerment Kumari Selja met activists to discuss issues related to the third gender on August 13 with transsexual person from Vadodara, Anjali. It was decided to have a special consultation on August 23 with health and law ministry officials to pave the way for a policy.
