I hope the data collected is used for science and not other reasons. I always worry when someone is given an ID card distinguishing them different from other people.

I have yet to understand what the Tamil Nadu government is trying to do.
TN offers helping hand to transgenders (http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/may/17gender.htm)
Transgenders get third gender status in colleges (http://www.thehindu.com/2008/05/18/stories/2008051850210100.htm)
"We must make them feel that we are there to help them, not improve them."
