According to Ranjita Sinha, transgender activist and a member of Bengal's Transgender Development Board, the survey released on Friday reflects the growing recognition of the third gender in the state.
"The census will provide a way to frame better policies for the third gender in the state. A lot of positive things are happening in Bengal and the official record of the numbers are evidence of the growing recognition, especially in the rural areas," Sinha told IANS.
变性人活动家、孟加拉变性发展局成员Ranjita Sinha称，周五披露的调查反映了该邦第三性别不断获得认可。
“人口普查为该邦第三性别的政策制定提供了一个方式。孟加拉邦出现了很多积极变化，官方数据是第三性别不断获得认可的证据，特别是在农村地区。”

recognizing transgender as 3rd gender is good .they actually with extra or less parts granted by god are third gender but in 21st century after almost 70 years of independence.will govt remove reservation and instead provide free education for all in school and colleges instead of providing quotas and subsidies. ???..poor will be more than happy...??
承认变性人是第三性别是好事。
那些少了或多了一些上天赋予的器官的人就是第三性人。
独立70年了，政府是否会取消预留制，取消配额和补贴，为所有人提供免费教育？

让他们去当士兵，并送往前线。
让他们去潜艇工作，让他们过着有意义的生活，让他们远离主流社会。
