The male/female gender binary dominates Western culture, yet it is far from universal. For example, in India you might encounter a "hijra"—a member of the third sex. They are considered neither man nor woman. Although many of them are physically male, traditionally they refer to themselves as female and dress appropriately. This third gender is referenced in the earliest available records from the Indian Subcontinent, and was an established presence in the Vedic culture. There is no equivalent of hijras in the contemporary Western conceptualization of gender.
Select the sentence that indicates the historical aspect of hijra.
选项
答案
"This third gender... presence in the Vedic culture."
解析
The best answer is: This third gender is referenced in the earliest available records from the Indian Subcontinent, and was an established presence in the Vedic culture. The mention of records and Vedic culture indicates the historical aspect of hijra.
