* '''[[Gender-variant_identities_worldwide#third gender|third gender]]'''. A catch-all category that has been used for over a century by some Western anthropologists when talking about other cultures' societal gender roles that do not fit into Western ideas of gender binary or heterosexual roles. This umbrella term covers Native American [[Two-Spirit]]s, south Asian [[hijra]], and many others all over the world. Anthropologists are not consistent in what they use third gender to mean: some use it only means men who love men, some also use it to mean women who love women, some use it to mean a gender that isn't male or female, and so on. Some anthropologists use third gender to misrepresent how people in those cultures see themselves. Because of this problematic past of Westerners using "third gender" to objectify other cultures, people from those cultures can choose to reclaim "third gender" for their own use, but other people should think twice about it.<ref>Julia Serano, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity.''
