  1. Gender Identity: “Third Gender” Intersexed: Born with both male and female organs or ambiguous organs - 0.1%-0.2% of live births. • Once individuals are older and have developed a gender identity they may have sex assignment surgery. • However, some choose to remain “third sex” and many countries have adopted X on documents such as passports to acknowledge this.

  4. North American Aboriginal • When western nations colonized North America many aspects of Aboriginal societies, such as recogniition of “two spirited” people were lost. • “Two-spirited” people did have status, acceptance and a role in Aboriginal society. • Canadian Native people have adopted “two-spirited” to refer to “Third Sex” people in their communities.
