I think it's pushing the term 'legally recognised' a bit. Hijra is not explicitly legally identified based on the given examples. rather 'T' and 'other' and Hijra would fall somewhere beneath the rather wide umbrella. | I think it's pushing the term 'legally recognised' a bit.

Some things to probably add to the article. | |||
* According to Wikipedia, the term "Hijra" is considered derogatory in Pakistan, and the gender is often referred to as "Khawaja Sira" (with minor spelling variations) instead, so this alternate name should be mentioned in the article. | |||
* Both [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_of_Transgender_Persons_Bill,_2014 India] and [http://www.senate.gov.pk/uploads/documents/1503334623_218.pdf Pakistan] enacted anti-discrimination legislation against transgender people. Both explicitly mention this gender as an example of who the legislation applies to. This may be relevant to the "Legal Recognition" section. | |||
