In episode three of BBC Radio 3's landmark series telling the global story of gay identity, Richard Coles focuses on those societies where gender identity rather than sexuality is key. Thailand's Ladyboys or Kathoeys are perhaps the most well-known examples of people who identify themselves according to gender variance rather than sexual preference. But, as Richard discovers, there are many other similar societies - such as India's transgendered Hijras and the Native Americans' 'Two Spirit' tradition. As a western model of gay identity spreads across the world, Richard explores the future for these ancient identities. Producer: Laurence Grissell.
