Select TWO academic articles/scholarly sources (ie. a journal article, article in an edited volume) that discuss one example of a third gender in a particular society (eg. hijra, Two spirit, fa’afafine – remember that transgender (in our society) is NOT the same as third gender, so do not use this as an example). Using these articles, relevant information about gender/third gender from your text, and other course material, outline how and why this particular example of a third gender challenges notions of gender binarisms/dualities (if they exist in this society) and/or mainstream ideas about gender in this society. What does the existence of recognized third genders in societiessuch as the one you explore say about the concept of gender and how we (as anthropologists/anthropology students) understand this concept?
