BANGALORE: Acknowledging their difference, premier national law schools will include an 'Others' category for transgenders in application forms from the next academic year.

National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore vice-chancellor Prof R Venkata Rao told TOI this was an important move in the area of human rights. "During interaction with transgenders, they pointed out that in application forms, it was always Male or Female in the gender category but there's no mention of Transgenders or Others. This got us thinking."

Why does a school, much less a law school even have to answer a gender type question? drop it already.
