The landmark Supreme Court Judgement in April 2014 recognized transgender as the third gender and in furtherance of this decision the government of Delhi has decided to introduce a separate category known as ‘transgender’ category in the birth and death certificates.
As recognized as the first move to introduce third gender officially on paper, a notification was issued last month asking all registrar offices to make changes in the form.
