Background of the Research

The concept of the Third Gender for most Americans is still quite unusual because most of them associate gender with sexual preference. Therefore, debates have been all over to clarify what qualifies an individual to be identified as either male or female focusing on binary and non-binary people. According to (Mirandé, 2016), the third gender refers to a concept whereby individuals define themselves or are defined by society as neither a man nor a woman. In some communities which recognize three or more genders, it is accepted as a social category (Berlin, 2018). However, not all countries recognize or accept non-binary individuals to acquire similar rights as binary individuals.

Research Question

Should third gender individuals be categorized as a universal gender internationally?

Method and Technique

The research method and techniques will involve collecting data from primary and secondary sources which focuses on the study. The data analysis will involve the participation of the societies which have accepted this form of social category and embraced it legally. The data collection will be from the current researches focusing on legalizing the third genders such as non-binary transgender of California in the U.S, intersex of Germany, and muxers of Mexico (Levin, 2019). Data collection will be focusing on the challenges and legal impacts they face in recognizing their rights.

Importance of the study

The study is crucial as it highlights the challenges third gender individuals’ face in a day to day activities within different societies. It discusses the benefits these individuals receive whenever they are legally recognized as the third gender. The study is important as it addresses the issues of human rights and discriminations within a society. It is also critical as it will show the importance of international society recognizing and accepting the third gender legally like any other person. However, it will aid in defining the importance of laws for governing sensitive genders to avoid discrimination.
