SOC307 SOC/307 SOC 307 Week 1 Discussion 2/dq 2 The Third Sex-Gender {{latest}} All societies throughout time
have divided their population by sex. The roles, norms, and expectations for those sexes comprise gender. However,
not all societies today recognize only two genders. Watch this National Geographic program that explores societies
where more than two sexes/genders are recognized, and address the questions below. ·The video highlights the Hijras,
or third sex, in India. How would a Hijra person be categorized here in the United States as male or female? Explain
your answer by describing the criteria you used to select either male or female and not the other. ·Even though Indian
society recognizes the Hijras as a third sex, they are marginalized and discriminated against in society. In some modern
Indonesian villages, on the other hand, five genders are recognized and those that transcend traditional sexes are
celebrate, and even worshiped. Explain how you could use these two examples as evidence that gender is socially
constructed? Use evidence from the video to back up your answer. ·Using the Albanian sworn virgins" as an example,
describe how social context (the historical period and/or cultural norms) can lead to the creation of more than two
genders. Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required
material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your
classmates posts by Day 7. Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your
discussion.
