Pakistan allows transsexuals to have own gender category
Pakistan has taken the landmark decision to allow transsexuals to have their own gender category on some official documents.
The country's Supreme Court has ruled that those Pakistanis who do not consider themselves to be either male or female should be allowed to choose an alternative sex when they apply for their national identity cards.
