-* '''[[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.<ref>Julia Serano, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity.''

+* '''[[Gender-variant_identities_worldwide#third gender|third gender]]'''. A concept in which individuals are categorized, either by themselves, by their society, or by outsiders to their society, as not fitting into the Western ideas of [[binary gender]] and heterosexual roles. The phrase "third gender" has been used for a wide variety of meanings: intersex people whose bodies do not fit outdated Western medical concepts of binary sex, hundreds of indigenous societal roles as described (and often misrepresented) by Western anthropologists (including indigenous identities such as south Asian [[hijra]]s, Hawaiian and Tahitian [[māhū]], and Native American identities now called [[Two-Spirit]]s),<ref>Julia Serano, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity.''
