TO GO WITH AFP STORY "BANGLADESH-VOTE-EUNUCHS,FOCUS" BY SHAFIQ ALAM Bangladeshi 'hijra' social worker Joya Shikder holds her national identity card at her house in Dhaka on December 26, 2008. Among the millions of new voters in the December 29 Bangladeshi elections will be some 100,000 hijras -- cross-dressing, pre- and post-operative transsexuals -- allowed to cast ballots for the first time. The male-to-female transsexuals are among 32 percent of the impoverished nation's 81 million voters for whom participating in the elections -- the first in Bangladesh since 2001 -- will be a new experience.
