Chennai: Companies in India should incorporate and put in place a policy framework to prevent discrimination against trans-genders, a top management consultant said on Thursday.

“13 Fortune 500 companies have put in place a policy to check discrimination against transgenders and organisation in India should also have similar liines,” Ma Foi Management Consultants Ltd Chairman and Managing Director K Pandia Rajan said.

He was addressing a FICCI Ladies Organisation symposium on “Transgender:Inclusion or Seclusion?”

“Transgenderism is not a disability. Even in the history of Tamil literature, there is no derogatory reference of transgenders,” he said.
