The Bugis people are one of the three biggest ethnic groups located in South Sulawesi (Indonesia). They recognise five genders: ''makkunrai'', ''oroané'', ''bissu'', ''calabai'', and ''calalai. Makkunrai an''d ''oroané'' are the equivalents of [[cisgender]] [[Man|men]] and [[Woman|women]]. ''Calabai'' is similar to [[Transgender|trans women]]; they are assigned male at birth but take female gender roles and their [[gender expression]] is similar to that of cis women. ''Calalai'', on the other hand, is the equivalent to [[Transgender|trans men]]; they are assigned female at birth, but dress and present as cis men.<ref>Carl, John D. (2011).
