    A Bangladeshi satellite TV station has hired the country’s first transgender news anchor, saying it hopes the appointment will help change society. Many transgender people in Bangladesh face harassment and other abuse, and finding jobs is difficult.http://apne.ws/2Ds4T9D

        People are people, let them be the person that makes them most happy. I hope that in time we won’t even think of the persons gender any more than we should think about their ethnicity or religious preferences. We should only judge the content of their character.

        Always great when a country acknowledges people are people and lets them work. Shame it has to be an exceptional event.

        Does the AP have a policy about dead-naming trans folks? Looks like the person was okay with having it published but... Is it necessary for the story? It didn’t appear so, so ... why do it at all?

        are you insane? She is a news anchor... her name is all over the newspapers in Bangladesh. We are celebrating it here.

        And so it starts, she will have an advantage over the newsman. I bet she did it just to get a leg up. This is sarcasm.
