Should colleges/universities consider transgenders for admission?

right one...support you for this...all have equal rights

Chris, firstly your argument on brain sizes is not fully or scientifically correct. Secondly its quite normal for Rich to help Poor proposition. If you see a beggar on the street, you give them alms.  A visually normal person to help a visually impaired/challenged person. In light of this what I say is, presently this category of people need hand holding.  These are the among the truly deserving minority human beings who need mandatory reservations and stringent protection against discrimination, so that we as a nation can develop towards a more value based society.

If you put yourself in the other shoes and you were undergoing this discrimination of a total deprivement of all rights to be considered a human being, how would it be??  Or consider you had to parent a born different child, Do you still stand by your argument?

trans genders have the right to education.

Yes for sure they have a right to be treated respect fully. Moreover being the citizens of the country no one can take this right awy as they have a right to freedom and equality as per the fundamental rights in indian constitution so dont keep any doubts regarding depriving them of their rights in an independent country

sure they are a part of our society

Good debate Ravali. They should not only be given admissions to education but also to be treated equally each and every level of our society so that public's bad impression on them can be dispelled.

I support for Yes.

Yes they also have every right to get education.

I think this the good move by Prof. R Venkta  and we should support decision  after all they are also an citizen of earth..

WHY NOT?THEY ARE ALSO  BONAFIDE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY LIKE ALL OF US.WHY SHOULD THEY BE DENIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND GROW WHICH WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR THEM AND WILL REDUCE THEIR DEPENDANCE ON GOVT EVEN FOR PETTY THINGS.

Yes, times have changed. Now many people understand that they were made like that by nature and it is not their fault. Hence, they would be accepted by many students in school and college. They too are humans.

The TN Government has included them in the voter rolls and are also giving them encouragement. One such thing is that they get free operation to make them as functional females (of course they cannot reproduce).

By giving them education and encouraging them to take up jobs, we can keep them off the street. Most of them earn their living by resorting to begging and flesh trade, because they do not know anything else. Nor are they employable because of their lack of education.

i agree

i agree with u ravali.

This is a highly appreciable step and i guess a beginning of new thinking. According to me all kinds of reservations on the basis of casts, religion, region, gender should be discarded. Why this kind of discrimination ? Everyone should have equal and fair chance. Obviously before being a woman or a muslim or a Schedule  cast we are humans. And today India is ready to understand this and shun all the partitions created for political reasons.

yes they should have equal opportunity in our society. they have every right to compete with men and women. so its a very good decision. we don't have any right to separate them.

Right move. 

Yes they should get equal respect in our society and if they get good education then they also will get good status for that every education institution should offer a admission to these people.

thanks for invitation

They should be admitted, and for the fault of nature they can not be punished. all are human beings.

Thanks Ms.Ravali.

All persons should be given equal opportunity for gaining education. In such a scenario, colleges/universities should consider all the members for admission.....

It would be wrong if any human being was not given the basic right to education.

Transsexual students who decide to transition from one gender to another typically seek to change their gender and often their names on official records and documents. Students whoself-identify as genderqueer may also change their given names to match their gender identity. The process for making these changes varies from state to state and institution to institution. At some colleges and universities,

the process is difficult or no means exist to make such changes.

Yes,

Nothing wrong in it.

Yes this will be an good initiative, Education is the primary requirement of an healthy and growing society.

They should admit even transgender see-lions or royal penguins if they are able to prove their intelligence surpasses the admission threshold. Otherwise no.

YES

People's sexual orientation is their personal business. As long as they have a legal identity, why should they be denied their right of access to education if they have merit?.

If transgenders are there in numbers they should be made to select a gender what they were or what they became and make that their legal choice.
