Stop proposed ban on gender reassignment in Lithuania! say members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
The written declaration of October 5th 2011 (Doc. 12753) speaks out sharply against the legal proposal proposing to ban gender reassignment in Lithuania. The 30 signees find “this proposal is an egregious attack on the fundamental rights of a highly vulnerable minority, who are in any event at risk of violence and discrimination on a regular basis.” They “call upon the Lithuanian government and members of Lithuania's delegation to the Assembly to work to ensure rejection of this proposal.” TGEU welcomes this declaration by the PACE members.

Caught between a male personality and female body
Makutu village, about 30kms from Iganga town is quite popular because of one person, Nabirye,whose first name I later learn is Fauza. When you ask what is special about Nabirye, laughter follows as the person delves into explaining her double-gender - male and female. It is obviously very complicated to explain that the said Nabirye, could easily pass for a woman or man because she has two sexual organs. The dictionary word for people like her is hermaphrodite.
