For example, some men and women may identify as transvestites, that is, men who dress in women's clothing. Others may identify as transgender. Transgender people are men and women who want or have had genital surgery to become the opposite sex. Finally, citizens can associate with the intersex group. Intersex groups are people whose genitals are not clearly male or female. India identifies people belonging to the third gender category as hijras. Some believe that hijras are men who worshiped a Hindu goddess by sacrificing their genitals and promising to live without sexuality (Brannon 2015). Hijras are also believed to have the power to bestow fertility and are often invited to special events (Brannon 2015). India is not the only country to believe that citizens of the third gender have a spiritual calling.
