The Three Human Genders
Westerners are often not clear about the difference between a 'Man' and a member of the 'Third Gender'. This is because the western society does not recognise Gender as a valid human trait.
In fact, since the Third Gender has been manipulated and politicised for so long, even most non-westerners are unclear about the real meaning of the term Third Gender, even when they are aware of the basic difference between a 'Man' and a member of the 'Third Sex'.
We are presenting here, for the benefit of everybody the real meaning of the three terms:
The Three Genders (Sex-Gender Categories) of humans
|
Man: |
A man is anyone who has the male body and the male spirit or energy or Gender. Gender is defined as the inner sex, irrespective of one's sexual organs. |
|
Woman: |
A Woman is defined as anyone who has the female body and the female spirit/ energy/ Gender. In India, even a masculine gendered female is however, wrongly included as a woman. |
|
Third Gender: |
The term Third Sex is actually a congregate word for the following different sex/ gender categories: (a) Anyone who has the male body (including penis) and a female spirit/ energy/ Gender. (b) Anyone who has the female body (including vagina/ ovaries) and a male spirit/ energy/ Gender. (c) Anyone who has ambiguous outer sex (i.e. sexual organs). (d) Intersexed people. (e) Eunuchs, who, on account of loss of testosterone have developed feminine outer or inner characteristics. |
Please note that unlike the western classification of "Sexual Orientation", the sexual preferences of people is immaterial in determining their genders/ Sex categories.
