"PESHAWAR:
People who identify themselves as transgender asked the government to include an option where they can state their gender in the national census. They said this at a news conference held at Peshawar Press Club on Tuesday.

They said previously people who were transgender were asked to mark themselves as people with disabilities. Then the federal government deleted the column, leaving only the discreet categories of male and female."
