* '''[[gender-variant identities worldwide#bissu|bissu]]'''. For the past six centuries, the Bugis people of Indonesia have divided their society into five genders, which must coexist harmoniously: ''oroané'' (cisgender men), ''makkunrai'' (cisgender women), ''calabai'' (transgender women), ''calalai'' (transgender men), and ''bissu'' (all aspects of gender combined to form a whole).<ref>"Sulawesi's fifth gender" .
