I am so happy to share two recent developments in transgender empowerment in two south Indian states. One in Tamilnadu and the other in Karnataka. Bharathi, who completed her bachelor's degree in theology last April, has been a pastor at the Evangelical Church of India (ECI) branch in Chengalpattu, on the outskirts of Chennai in Tamilnadu. She is India's first transgender pastor. The Karnataka state high court employed transgender woman Anu in the group D category whic h means the first government post in the country. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-06/india/3102 9934_1_bharathi-transgend er-community-pastor" title="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-06/india/3102 9934_1_bharathi-transgend er-community-pastor" target="_blank"http://articles.timesofindia.... http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/karnataka /article2860948.ece" title="http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/karnataka /article2860948.ece" target="_blank"http://www.thehindu.com/news/...
