TIRUCHI Transgenders have written to the newly elected Chief Minister M.K. Stalin seeking their inclusion in the welfare schemes allocated for women in the state. They sought free travel in buses, job opportunities among other needs. A former member of the Tamil Nadu Transgender Welfare Board P. Kajol wrote a letter to the CM Cell, and also approached him through social media to draw attention to the fact that transgenders are also women who deserve the welfare schemes extended by his government. While free rides on buses were one of the requests, it would also be able to allow them to travel to places to seek out job opportunities, they said.
