A eunuch who won an Indian mayoral that is reserved for women has been ousted by a
court-ruling that has determined that he is male.
Jaan — the first eunuch to win public office in India — plans to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Eunuchs live on society's edges, begging and collecting tips for dancing at weddings, blessing babies and participating in ceremonies. They consider themselves women. Some Hindus think they bring good luck.
