MP Govt Permits Woman Constable To Undergo Sex Change

Taking a humanitarian step, the Madhya Pradesh government granted permission to a woman constable to undergo surgery for sex reassignment, informed State Home Minister Narottam Mishra. ''The woman constable was diagnosed with gender identity since childhood,'' Mishra told to ANI. She applied for permission after getting recommendations from doctors of Bhopal's Gandhi Medical College. Reportedly, it is the first time that the state government has given such an approval.
