DHAKATRIBUNE, Bangladesh
Hijras, who are neither male nor female, from now on will be considered as a separate gender in Bangladesh and will get priority for education and other rights.
The decision was made at a Monday cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Cabinet Secretary Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan briefed the media after the meeting.

That's good news!
Well this certainly sums up just how I feel, so yes good news, but would be even better if it was world wide.
Now if only our relentlessly modernist "no uncertainties ever!" culture could accept non-binary genders...
