Madras HC Asks Tamil Nadu on Transgender/Intersex Reservation

Madras HC Asks Tamil Nadu on Transgender/Intersex Reservation

The Madras High Court is asking the Tamil Nadu government to decide if it will give special job and school spots (reservations) to transgender and intersex people.

The court is happy the state made a new policy, but wants to make sure it's fair.

The court wants trans and intersex people on the committees that run the policy and is also suggesting that the state should help transgender and intersex couples with marriage registration and maybe create a way to recognize unmarried partnerships.

The court also wants the government to consider renaming the policy to include both transgender and intersex people.
