During the last few decades gender has emerged as an important site for anthropological studies which usually differentiate gender from sex and sexuality. Gender is a cultural construct and perceptions of men and women differ from culture to culture or even during different periods even in a single culture or society. While we in the west are still privileging the binary between men and women as a WAY to look at the gender difference, many non –western cultures have developed a concept of third gender in order to accommodate the emerging political movements dealing with transgendered subjects.
