"Indian court rules #transWomen are #women and ‘legally entitled to recognition’"
'In a landmark ruling for the country, after rejecting claims that womanhood was preserved only for those who can bear children, the High Court of #AndhraPradesh ruled that #trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.

Old fellow, kind who has enough tools in his truck to change your engine, is in front of me.
He orders a sheet cake, and asks the worker to "put some gay stuff on it", since his son has just come out.
