Direction for Third Gender not an acceptable legal proposition

Live Law  

Supreme Court of India has declared that Hijras, eunuchs, apart from binary genders, be treated as “third gender” for the purpose of safeguarding their rights under Part III of the Indian Constitution and other laws. The Central and State Governments are directed to grant legal recognition of their gender identity such as male, female or third gender. But a direction to recoginse a third gender, in a country like India where women is given special protection under many laws, is possible? Though Supreme Court of India directed them to the recognized as third gender, I could not find any Indian laws which recognizes such third gender.
