ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s transgender community has gotten its first ride-sharing service in the latest effort to protect trans people from discrimination and harassment, the business’ founder said on Wednesday. It’s called SheDrives and will service only trans people and women, according to Ammaz Farooqi, the company’s chief executive. For now, it will service only Lahore, but expansion is possible, Farooqi said. “A unique aspect of this app and ride service is that the drivers and passengers will be women and transgender persons,” Farooqi said. The country’s parliament also drafted a transgender rights bill to allow trans people choose their gender identity for previously issued government documents, educational certificates and national identity cards.

☆ Obesity changes the brain, with ‘no sign of reversibility,’ researchers find

“This study captures why obesity is a disease — there are actual changes to the brain,” said Apovian, who was not involved in the study. They wanted to know if that would be different in people with obesity compared to those of normal weight. At the same time, levels of dopamine rose in those at normal weight, signaling that the reward centers of the brain were also activated. Losing weight did not reset the brain in people with obesity, Serlie said. Until science answers these questions, the study emphasizes, once again, that weight stigma has no place in the fight against obesity, Serlie said.
